St. John's Newfoundland Abstract
The subject of this thesis is seventeenth-centwy tin-glazed earthenware excavated
from Ferryland, Newfoundland. This type of ceramic was pnzed during the seventeenth century for the whiteness of its glaze and its similarity to porcelain. No documentation exists which describes tin-glazed earthenware being shipped to Ferryland7but it is found in relatively large quantities in many areas of the site. This thesis considers the izentification of forms of vessels, their date and country of manufacture, and the trade partnerships between Newfoundland and Europe which allowed the tin-glazed earthenware to be brought to Ferryland. Historical documentation and artifact analysis were used in conjunction with fieldwork in Portugal, the United States and Canada, to research these topics. 570 different tin-glazed earthenware vessels were identified and classified according to a modified Potomac Typological System and the results indicate the majority of the vessels were used for the presentation and serving of food. Strong economic links with both England and the Iberian peninsula are illustrated by the large proportions of these tin-glazed earthenware found in the Ferryland archaeological record.
The importance of Spain and Portugal as trade partners with Ferryland shifted as the seventeenth century progressed, and this is reflected in the changing arnounts of tin- glazed earthenware arriving in the settlement. Most of the tin-glazed earthenware which could be dated closely pertains to the Kirke occupation. Trade in these goods to Ferryland appears to have been based on personal connections, and the presence of exotic ceramics in Fenyland can be seen to be more closely related to the presence of a wealthy patron in the settlernent than with English trade policies of the seventeenth century.

Introduction
The archaeological excavations at Ferryland, Newfoundland have uncovered remains of a seventeenth-century fishing plantation, one of the first permanent English settlements in North America. A broad range of material culture has been unearthed, including many cerarnics. One particular type of ceramic recovered from Ferryland is tin- glazed earthenware, the subject of this thesis. Tin-glazed earthenware was popular in
Europe during the seventeenth century, and although fairly expensive, was considered to be a more affordable copy of Chinese porcelain. The presence of tin-glazed earthenware at an archaeological site may be considered indicative of wealth and high status, given its higher cost. Many European countries produced tin-glazed earthenware during the seventeenth century, and by identifjing and examining the arnounts from each country present in the archaeological record, much can be leamed about the economic links between Fenyland and Europe.
Following the introductory chapter, Chapter 2 outlines the history of Fenyland. from the time it was first settled to its destruction in 1696. Some documentary evidence relating to the development of the area is present, as the settlement was described in
Ietters sent back to England. Some of this correspondence is still in existence and was used in the interpretation of the site.
Chapter 3 describes the history of the excavations at the site, and deals specifically with the structural remains uncovered at each area. In some areas, there is no corresponding docurnentary evidence to explain the presence of the stone structures, so archaeology alone must be the basis of interpretation.
The tin-glazed earthenware at Ferryland originates in six different countries, and the history of the development of tin-glazed earthenware in each of these countries the main focus of Chapter 4.
Chapter 5 presents descriptions of the forms, fabrics and decorations of tin-glazed earthenware made in each of the six national traditions. It includes a discussion of forms present in the Ferryland archaeological record as defined by a modified form of the
Potomac Typological System, or POTS (Beaudry et ai, 1991).
The tin-glazed earthenware collection is identified and analysed in Chapter 6. The dateable vesseis are divided into seven major time periods which cover the tirne of occupation of the site, and which illustrate trends in the appearance of the ceramics at
Ferryland.
Ferryland's economic links with other European countries are described in
Chapter 7. England developed trade partnerships with different countries, which were affected by ongoing wars and alliances. The economy of Ferryland, an English settlement. was affected by these changing markets for its cod. although during the seventeenth century the presence of the tin-glazed earthenware seems to be affected more by persona1 trade connections rather than by English economic policy.
Chapter 8 describes the social organization of Ferryland, and discusses inferences about status and wealth that can be made by anaiysis of the tin-glazed earthenware. The geographic locations of the tin-glazed earthenware are outlined, and inferences about the interrelation of different areas are made. Issues of choice and consumption are also considered.
The final c hapter (9) includes cornparisons to other research done on tin-glazed earthenware in North American colonial sites. A discussion of the role of tin-glazed earthenware in seventeenth-century society, its uses and symbolism is included. The archaeological evidence and reseaïch from previous chapters are discussed.
Many of the chapters rely on the descriptions of the collection of tin-glazed earthenware vessels recovered fiom Ferryland. A catalogue of these vessels. along with identifications of form. country of origin, and date of manufacture are included in
Appendix A. Chapter 2
History of Ferryland
Ferryland is an outport cornrnunity located on the east coast of the Avalon
Peninsula, approximately 80 km south of St. John's (Map 1). For the last 400 years it has
played an important role in the history of Newfoundland, having been nearly continuousIy
occupied for that period of time. The first mention of Ferryland is found on Giovanni
Verrazano's 1529 world map where it is referred to as Farilharn, possibly a corruption of
the Portuguese word "farelhao" meaning steep rock. reef or point (Pope 1986: 1 ; Tuck
1 996a:2 1 ). This name was modified over time until it resulted in the English name
"Ferryland", still used today. The varied past of Ferryland includes visits in the sixteenth
century by Beothuks and European fishermen, but is best known as the site of early colonial ventures by George Calvert, later the first Lord Baltimore in the seventeenth century.
The rich cod fishery off the coast of Newfoundland attracted fishermen fiom many European nations on a seasonal basis begi~ingin the early 1 500s (Tuck 1996:28).
By 1550, as many as 100 ships were coming from France as well as some from Portugal to avail themselves of the fishing grounds (Abreu-Ferreira 199758). Archaeological excavations at Ferryland have uncovered many artifacts which can be dated and identified as to country of origin. Ceramics are one of the most suitable artifact classes for this purpose, and ceramic vessels made in the Basque country, Spain, Portugal and England have been recognized (Tuck 1996a:28). Some evidence that Beothuk Indians visited Ferryland also exists. Excavations in
the lowest cultural layers of Area B have revealed hearths, Stone tools and projectile
points in association with various types of European pottery. Some iron was also found.
although it was not modified into tools. The archaeological evidence suggests the
Beothuk came to Ferryland on a seasonal basis, though it is unclear whether they came to
conduct trade with the Europeans, or to take goods fiom the abandoned fishing stations.
The beginning of the seventeenth century was a time of colonization attempts in
Newfoundland. The earliest attempt at settling a permanent English colony in
Newfoundland happened in 1610, with the establishment of Cupids in Conception Bay
under the direction of John Guy. The colony was unsuccessful in that Guy did not turn a
large profit, although people did continue to live in the area. Other attempts to settle colonies were made at Renews and Harbour Grace (then known as Bristol's Hope), in
16 17 and 16 18. They were also unsuccessfùl in the sense that it was difficult for the proprietors to make money. It was not until 162 1, that Sir George Calvert. under a title granted by King James 1, established the settlement at Ferryland.
Calvert, who was Secretary ûf State in England under James 1, had long been interested in overseas ventures; he had invested in the East India Company in 16 14, and was a subscriber to the Virginia Company during the tinie of the second charter (Cell
1969:92). In addition, he had already tried out some of his colonization ideas on confiscated land in Ireland (Cell 1969: 1969). In 162 1 Calvert was granted a proprietary patent to the land and harbours fkom Bay Bulls to Aquaforte, as well as the harbours between Fenneuse and Trepassey (Pope 1992: 13). Captain Edward Wynne was sent with 1 1 colonists to Newfoundland to help set up a new colony at Ferryland, because Calvert was unable to travel to Newfoundland himself (Ce11 1969:92). Wynne was very industrious the first year, undertaking a building program which included a "mansion house" measuring 44 feet by 15 feet, tenements, salt works, a forge. brew room. and hen house. al1 of which were surrounded by a palizado (Pope 1996a:9-11). These constructions were described in letters to Calvert, which also included glowing reviews of the climate and opporhmities for success. Plans to expand the colony continued, with preparations for a brewhouse and other tenements. Wynne also requested a group of masons, carpenters, quarrymen. slaters, strong maids and labourers from Calvert (Wynne
7/28/1622, 8/17/1622). As well, crops were planted which included wheat. barley. oats. beans, peas, radishes, cabbage, lettuce, turnips, and carrots (Wynne 7/28/1622). Slowly the colony grew, and thirty-two settiers ovetwintered in 1622- 1623 (Tuck 1993b: 47). By
1625 there was a population of 100 settlers (Pope l986:2 1 1 ).
In 1625 Calvert resigned his position as Secretary of State, and declared his conversion to Roman Catholicism (Cell 1969:93). This meant that he now had more time to devote to his colony in Newfoundland. Captain Wynne had lefi his post after a short time, and Calvert (now the first Lord Baltimore) became concerned about his investment.
Calvert himself did not actualiy visit Ferryland until 1627, although he had attempted to travel to the settlement several times earlier. He must have been very impressed with what hs saw, because the following year with the permission of Charles 1, he brought his family and more settlers to Fenyland to take up permanent residence. Many factors conspired to make the Calverts stay in Fenyland rather unpleasant.
The English war with France had spread across the ocean to North America and while
the English were attacking the French in the St. Lawrence, the French harassed the
English in Newfoundland. Lord Baltimore rnanaged to capture six French fishing boats in
Trepassey Bay and sent them to England as prizes (Cell 1969:94). Baltimore then
requested protection fiom the French, but Charles I answered this plea by merely sending one of the French ships back to Newfoundland to him. Baltimore was forced to spend his own money to protect his colony and fishing interests. Religious friction was also a problem within the colony, with the Rev. Erasmus Stourton, an Anglican clergyman, later cornplaining to the English Privy Council that Baltimore had brought Catholic priests and settlers to Fenyland, that a mass had been conducted, and that a forcible baptism had taken place (Cell 1969:94). Finally, the winter of 1628- 1629 was a harsh one and many settlers becarne sick. Disillusioned, the Calverts left Ferryland in 1629. Although George
Calvert died in 1632, his son Cecil and the rest of the farnily set up a new colony in what is now the state of Maryland (Pope 1986: 148- 149). The Calvert family remained proprietors of the colony in Ferryland by maintaining William Hill as deputy until 1638
(Tuck 1996a:Z).
Political machinations in England resulted in Charles I granting the entire island of Newfoundland to Sir David Kirke in 1637. Kirke had helped to take Quebec from the
French in 1629 and so was regarded favourably by the king (Pope 1986:24). Kirke and his farnily arrived in Ferryland in 1638 and displaced Calvert's govemor, Captain William
Hill, fiom his home in the mansion house (Tuck 1996a:22). These actions resulted in a senes of lawsuits between the Kirkes and the Calverts, which lasted until the third quarter of the seventeenth century (Tuck 1993b: 295). However, Kirke managed Ferryland for the next 13 years, and unlike Calvert, was able to make a profit by collecting rent fiom resident planters for fishing rooms, by collecting license fees from taverns. and by levying a tax on foreign fishing ships (Pope 1986:24-25). The English Civil war began, and finally in 1651 Kirke was recalled to London to account for his proprietorship (Pope
1986:27). Lady Sara and the family were left behind to manage the property in Ferryland. which they did successfuIly. Kirke was a Royalist, which did not make him popular with the Interregnurn governrnent. He later died, possibly in the infamous Clink at "the suit of
Lord Baltimore" in 1654 and his land and possessions were forfeited to the
Commonwealth (Tuck l996a:E).
John Treworgie was appointed governor by the Commonwealth in 1653, a position he held until 1660 (Cell 1969: 123). He and five others were also given possession of Kirke's Newfoundland holdings (Pope 198627)- After Charles II ascended the throne in 1660 both the Calverts and Kirkes renewed their daims to the proprietorship of Fenyland. Lady Sara Kirke and three of her sons had continued to live at Ferryland throughout the Interregnum and after the Restoration, controlling the "plantation" and earning a profit from the fishery. The Calverts regained control over Ferryland in 166 1, but the Kirkes ignored this and refùsed to move. The property remained in the hands of the Kirke family until 1708 (Tuck 1996a:22).
However, there were fluctuations in their prosperity due to changing patterns of trade, variations in the demand for fish, and political upheavals. In 1673 four Dutch ships under the command of Nicholas Boes attacked Ferryland (Prowse 18% :1 830). They destroyed boats, wharves and train vats. The Governor of New York, Dudley Lovelace. who was imprisoned on board one of the ships wrote that "the enimie plundered, ruined? fired and destroyed the commodities, cattle, household goods and other stores" (Pope
1993: 107). They also burnt 30 fishing boats and took away as much fish as they could load ont0 their ships (Pope 1986:30). The settlement was rebuilt and in 1677 Ferryland contained eight dwelling houses, 15 storehouses, 27 boats, and 8 stages as well as 133 residents and servants (Prowse 1895:699).
The 1696 attack by d'Iberville's Canadian forces was more disastrous and resulted in a brief depopulation of the settlement (Prowse 1 895: 2 16, Tuck 1996a:23). French and
Indian troops travelled overland to Ferryland and proceeded to destroy the settlement and bum it to the ground (Pope 1993: 1 5 1). Some of the settlers were taken to Placentia, and others to England, where they stayed over the winter (Pope 19865 1). Many colonists did return in the following years, but occupation shifted away fiom the Pool to areas on the mainland.
The year 1696 marks the end of the main period of settlement at Ferryland, and since the majority of the tin-glazed earthenware recovered was shipped to Fenyland before the end of the seventeenth-century. it seems an appropriate place to end the description of Ferryland's history. Chapter 3
History of Excavation
3.1 History of Excavation
Archaeological investigations have been cax-ried out in Ferryland for many years, although early excavations were done on a small scale. The existence of the Colony of
Avalon was never completely forgotten, but investigators were unsure of its precise location, because of some confbion about eighteenth-century remains that were also visible in the area. Descriptions of Ferryland by Daniel Powell in 1622 located the colony :
"at the foot of an easy-ascending hill, on the south-east and defended with a hill, standing on the fùrther side of the haven on the north-west. The beach on the north and south sides of land Iock it and the seas on both sides are so near and indifferent to it that one may shoot a bird-bolt into either sea" (Pope 1993: 1 5).
This description clearly fits the inner harbour of the "Pool" area. with the easy-ascending hill being the westemmost part of the Fenyland Downs. The Downs are also obviously the location for " 1000 acres of good ground for hay, feeding of cattle and plenty of wood"
(Pope 1993: 15). However, many different excavations were carried out before the exact location of the Colony was detennined.
The very first recorded excavation was carried out by Bishop Michael F. Howley in 1880. One of the artifacts recovered included an object variously interpreted as a silver bodkin or snuff spoon, engraved with initials (Howley 1979: 124). Howley also mentioned that although little remained of the original colony, the foundations of Lord Baltimore's house were still visible in the late nineteenth century (Howley 1979: 124). Unfortunately
the exact location of his excavations are still unknown (Pope 1989a:78). In the 1930s, Dr.
Brooks, an entomologist fiom Baltimore, Maryland excavated several test pits in the
mainiand area and around The Pool (Tuck 1996a:24). He suggested the mansion house of
Lord Baltimore was located closer to the present-day community, near the former St.
Joseph's school, now the Colony of Avalon visitor centre (Pope 1986:77-78). In the
1950s, J.R. Harper who was working for the Historic Sites and Monuments Board of
Canada uncovered seventeenth-century material from the south shore of the Pool. He came to the opposite conclusion of Brooks, believing that the mansion house was located in the Pool area, since he recovered matenals including pipe bowls, case bottle giass, sgraffite ware, wood and glass (Harper 1960: 11 1).
Dr. James Tuck of Memorial University carried out test excavations near the south shore of the Pool in 1968, at the location of what is now a restaurant. A date drainage feature was exposed as well as number of seventeenth-century artifacts (Tuck
1996a:24). In the 1970s Robert Barakat, also of Memorial University, carried out some test excavations to the east of Harper's previous excavations (Tuck 1996a:24). The artifacts recovered fiom this area and fiom Bouys Island, located north of the Ferryland
Head dated mainly to the eighteenth century (Pope 1986:80).
It was not until the 1980s that more systematic and thorough work was completed.
In 1984, intensive excavations were carried out under the direction of Dr. James Tuck in order to see if the site had potential, if there had been much site disturbance, and to see if some of the structures mentioned in seventeenth-century documents could be located (Tuck 1993b:296). Excavations of Areas A -Dwere carried out fiom 1984-1986,
revealing a broad range of seventeenth-century artifacts and some structural remains. A
stone structure was uncovered in 1986 in Area C, but excavations were halted until
proper fimding could be obtained because of the richness and complesity of the area
(Tuck 1996a:3 1).
Marianne Stopp carried out salvage excavations for the Historic Resources
Division, Department of Culture, Recreation and Youth in 1989. She excavated at the waterline near the eastern end of the site. and also dug a trench at the junction of the
Lighthouse and Pool roads (Tuck 1996a:25). Althoiigh the stratigraphy in the area is difficult to interpret, a stone wall dating from the seventeenth century was found, as well as part of a later cobble road. Nevertheless, it will require more work in order to date this area properly.
Excavations at Ferryland continued in 1992 afier the signing of the 1991 Canada-
Newfoundland Tourism and Historic Resources Cooperation Agreement which supplied the necessary funding. The agreement provided fünding for multi-year excavations at
Ferryland. Since then. excavations have continued, expanding Areas B, C and D and opening up Areas E, F, and G (Tuck 1993a. 1993b, 1994, 1W6a, I996b). Evidence of a seventeenth-century settlement and a variety of structures was uncovered as well as thousands of artifacts.
Eight different area have been investigated by Mernorial University over the past
15 years. (Map 2). Each of these areas will be described in detail in the following sections. 3.2 Area A
In 1984 small test excavations were conducted in Area A. They consisted of four one metre squares excavated at the western end of the site, where the cobble bar that leads to the mainland begins to widen (Tuck 1996a:26). Some seventeenth-century material was recovered, but no structural features (Tuck 1993a: 297, Tuck I996a:U). tt is possible that this area was not excavated deeply enough, as some other features on the site have been found at great depths.
3.3 Area B
Excavations at Area B (located just to the east of Area A) during the 1984, 1985 and 1986 field seasons uncovered part of a Stone forge and a large number of seventeenth-century artifacts related to blacksmithing, such as iron, charcoal, coal. slag, and copper. Approximately sixty square metres were excavated, although not al1 were taken down to sterile subsoil (Pope 198683). Excavations were halted in the area for ten years until 1994, when the smithy floor was uncovered and the rest of the blacksrnith shop was cornpletely revealed. The forge itself measures about four feet by six feet, and post molds have been discovered which locate the position of the bellows and anvil (Tuck
1996a:29). Examination of artifacts associated with the forge date its construction to the first half of the seventeenth century (Carter 1997)
The discovery of the forge also helped to facilitate a better understanding of the layout of the early settlement of Ferryland. Captain Wynne wrote a letter to Calvert in
1622 describing the building efforts of the settlers, including the construction of the mansion house, tenements, brewhouse, and forge. He finished the letter with the words ".. so that within the same, another row of buildings may be so pitched, that the whole may be made a prettie streete" (Pope 1993: 13). This implies that the first row of buildings was located parallel to the harbour, and the discovery of the forge locates it on the south side of the existing modem road (Tuck 1996a:3O).
In 1995 excavations uncovered the remains of a cobblestone street which roughly parallels the present-day road. The western end of the street has been exposed and the edges are bordered with large cobbles. It is possible this is the "prettie streete" that
Captain Wynne referred to in his letter home (Pope 1993:13). Arnong the cobbles crushed cerarnics, glass nails and tobacco pipes have been found (Tuck 1996a:j 1). Unfortunately. the date of the street can only narrowed to the seventeenth century. However, the foundations of a stone house apparently built in mid-century have also been uncovered.
The house foundations encroach on the cobblestone street, so the street niust have been built considerably earlier than the house. Therefore, it is very likely that the cobble street is the same one made by the first settlers soon afier their arrival. The house appears to be a wood fiame structure which rested on a rough masonry foundation (Tuck i 996a:3 1)
More information on the house and an analysis of the objects found inside is available
(Nixon 1999).
Evidence of Beothuk Indian occupation has also been discovered in Area B. Small cobble hearths have been found on the lowest levels of the site, on the original sand beach. Chert stone tools were found which are almost identical to those found on other
Beothuk sites across the island (Tuck 1996a:27). Since the hearths were found on unprotected beaches, it is believed that the campsites were temporary, and used only seasonally .
Above the beach, two layers of beach rocks were found. Since the surface is uneven, it is unlikely they were used as a surface for walking on. A more likely explanation is that they were used for drying fish. It was very common to see fish spread on beaches to dry in Fenyland well into the twentieth century, so these beach rocks could have been used when the catch exceeded the normal space available (Tuck 1996a:28-29).
Ceramics found at the site indicate it was built by West Country English fishermen, and because no pipe Fragments were found, it Iikely dates to about the third quarter of the sixteenth century.
3.4 Area C
Area C first excavated in 1986, is located to the north and east of Site B and closer to the present-day shoreline of the Pool (Tuck 1996a:j 1 ). Substantial remains of Stone structures were uncovered, but excavations were then postponed until proper funding was available. In 1992 excavations continued and included part of the present-day parking lot in the east end of Area C (Tuck 1996a:3 1). It was later discovered that the construction in this area was carried out in two phases.
The first phase was the building of a seawall which also served as the colony's quayside. Some sections have also been found underwater, and excavations in 1995 revealed the eastem end of the seawall. The construction of the seawall and infilling of the area behind it was an arnbitious project, which required a great deal of work. The hillside on the southern edge of the settlement shows signs of cutting and terracing, so this is likely where the earth was obtained for the fill. This procedure was described in
Captain Wynne's report in 1622 of using earth to reclaim the land (Gaulton 19975).
Once the area was filfed in, it produced a large level area for the second phase, the construction of stone buildings which make up the waterfiont premises.
A large building that measures 56 feet by 16 feet has been uncovered, and it is the only complete building exposed so far. The west half appears to have had flagstone paving, but the east end seems to have had an earthen floor (Tuck 1996a:33). Thousands of fragments and whole roof slates indicate that the building had a slate roof. It is believed to have been a storehouse, and examination of architectural features assigns it a date fiom the early seventeenth century.
A stone privy measuring about four feet by eight feet, and four feet deep was uncovered at the western end of the storehouse structure and also dates from the early seventeenth century (Tuck 1996a:33). It drains through the seawall to allow for the evacuation of waste into the harbour. Since the drains are below the high tide level, the privy was "flushed" every twelve hours (Tuck 1996a:j 3). Organic remains were uncovered fiom the water-saturated matrix, and included several scraps of textile, some fragments of leather shoes and a few wooden objects including part of a wheelbarrow and a walking stick (Tuck 1993b:33-34). One of the more unusual finds was a wax impression from a signet ring bearing the picture of a weeping eye above the Immaculate
Heart of Mary, pierced with an arrow and shedding three drops of btood (Gaulton
1997:6). This is most likely from the time of Calvert's proprietorship, given the Roman Catholic symbolism of the impression. Thousands of seeds, bird bones and fish bones were also recovered which will help to determine the diet of the settlers once they are analysed.
The stone storehouse was destroyed in the Dutch raid of 1673, and a second construction phase began shortly afierwards (Gaulton 1997: 10). This consisted of the addition of more fil1 to the southem end of Area C, and the construction of a combination storehouse-cowhouse shed (Gaulton 1997: 1O). The shed also included a slate drainage channel which led into the old privy which was destroyed in the French anack of 1696
3.5 Area D
The first evidence of a domestic complex was discovered at Area D. near the eastern end of the settlement and outside the originai palisade. It includes the remains of a dwelling, and an associated well. A later, nineteenth-century fireplace was uncovered during a Memorial University of Newfoundland field school, and in 1993 the area was returned to and Merexcavations were carried out.
The house dates to the second half of the seventeenth century and is the topic of a forthcoming study (Crompton, forthcorning). The fireplace measures about 17' 6" wide and is likely the width of the house (Tuck 1996a:36). It is not yet known who lived in the house, although a map drawn by James Yonge in 1663 identifies a house in the general area as belonging to Lady Kirke (Tuck l993a:306). The map does not show many other buildings that were in existence in 1663, and the artifacts recovered from the house do not match what one would expect from a house inhabited by gentry in the seventeenth century. Even though the house was substantial, it has a lack of more expensive wares such as tin-glazed earthenware or sgrafitto ware (Tuck 1996a:37). Coins have also been found which date the destruction of the house to the French attack of 1696. The Stone- lined well was excavated in 1994. It reaches a depth of 25' below the surface of the ground and was solidly built (Tuck 1 996a:37). Local legend has it that a child drowned in the well sometime in the past, causing it to be filled in. Artifacts fiom the well indicate it was filled in sometime during the late eighteenth or early nineteenth century. The substantial structures of Area D suggest it was the dwelling of a fairly wealthy family, but the associated artifacts contradict this. It is hoped that the upcoming study will explain this paradox.
3.6 Area E
Site E is located at the top of the hi11 south of the site (Tuck 1996a:38). It is located in an area that provides a good vantage point over the Pool, the settlement and a view to the east where ships would have entered the harbour. It consists of a large moud of earth and was part of the fortifications of Fenyland (Tuck l996a:39). Limited excavations were carried out, but many remains were found. indicating that the area has undergone several different building phases. The latest dates from the mid-eighteenth century and consists of two fireplaces from a building that measured 12 by 30 feet (Tuck
1996a:39). The artifacts recovered indicate that it could have been used as a tavern. because of the large amounts of drinking vessels, bottles and pipes. Earlier remains have been found which appear to be fortifications built in 1694 by Captain William Holman as a response to the increasing threat of the French (Tuck 1996a:39). The artifacts found, which include a William III half-penny from the late seventeenth century bear out this interpretation. Although no military artifacts have been found in the area, the strategic location of the feature make it likely a gun platform was placed there.
3.7 Area F
Area F, located on the eastern edge of the settlement on the south shore of the
Pool, has long been thought to have been the location of some of the original structures of the Colony of Avalon. In the past, Arch Williams, whose house stood in the area. reported finding seventeenth-century artifacts in his garden. The house was occupied until it was bought by the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador in 1995, and was pulled down in
1997. Some digging was carried out east of the Williams' house in 1996, and late seventeenth-century deposits were uncovered in association with burned timbers (Carter et al 1997:3). This was interpreted as being from a frarne structure that bumed either at the end of the seventeenth century or at the beginning of the eighteenth (Carter et al
1997:3). In 1997 the deposits were fùlly excavated, and it was discovered that underneath was a large defensive ditch. about six meters wide and a meter deep. The ditch is obviously part of the defensive fortifications, and runs north-south along what is the eastern boundary of the colony (Carter et al, 1997:3). The remains of an earthen rampart were also found, as well as the remains of a wooden bridge.
Excavations in Z 996 and 1997 further revealed the presence of the eastern end of the cobblestone pavement or road which runs fiom east to west across the site (Tuck 1996b:3). The width of this matches a similar pavement which ends at the western end of the site (Tuck 1W6b:3). As a result, it is also believed to be part of the "prettie streete" mentioned by Captain Edward Wynne in 1622. Another cobble pavement. leading southward from the main cobble road, was also found and is overlain by an incredibly rich midden deposit. Test pits in 1996 yielded fragments of glass window leads or cames. artifacts not previously recovered from the site (Tuck 1996b:j). Thousands of artifacts have been recovered from this midden, including artifacts which indicate high status such as a gold-plated brass spur, and many sherds of expensive ceramics, such as terra sigillatu and tin-glazed earthenware (Carter et al. 19975). It is estimated that 80% of al1 the sherds of tin-glazed earthenware found at Fenyland have come fiom the ten squares excavated in the area (Carter et al. 19975). It is quite possible that the Mansion House, mentioned in letters to England could be in this area, but excavations have been halted in the location because of the proximity to the Downs or Lighthouse Road. Further excavation will require the moving of the road, which will take a large amount of logistical and financial effort.
3.8 Area G
The first excavations at Area G began in 1996 and continued through to 1999. A cobble pavement was uncovered at the eastern end of the site, but does not appear to be part of a roadway or a platforni for drying fish (Carter et al 1998:49). For now, its function remains undetermined. Some excavations were carried out below the pavement, and a thin layer of organic materia1 with artifacts dating from the first half of the seventeenth century was discovered. Underneath this layer was a thick layer of fiIl on top of the original beach, also evidence of Captain Wyme's 1622 project of reclaiming land.
Another excavation was carried out in Area G, near to where the previous digging had been done. No cobblestone pavement was found, but instead a layer of fil1 was uncovered, along with a large nurnber of roof tile fragments (Carter et a/.19972).
Unfortunately, no evidence of a slate-roofed structure has yet been found in the area.
Artifacts found indicate an occupation during the first half of the seventeenth century
(Carter et al. 1997:2). Evidence of the seawall was also discovered at Area G. but excavations were only carried out at times when the tides were low enough to permit access. In 1999 a drain associated with the area was partially excavated, but because of the location of buildings in the area, digging had to be halted before the drain was completely uncovered.
3.9 Area H
Area H was excavated during the 1999 field season. It is located just West of the
Colony of Avalon Interpetive Centre, and approximately three four-metre square units were excavated. In an upper level, remains of a nineteenth-century Stone foundation were uncovered. Below that, parts of an eighteenth-century cobble pavement were found. In the lowest levels, some evidence of a mid-seventeenth-century occupation was discovered, with dates fiom pipe bowls found indicating people were present fiom about 1640- 1670
(Barry Gaulton, pers. cornm. 1999). Chapter 4
History of tin-glazed earthenware
4.1 Introduction
Tin-glazed earthenware became popular in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries
in Europe because of the whiteness of its glaze, which was the closest imitation people could get to the new imports of Chinese porcelain. Although these ceramics cost about three times the price of regular earthenware, there was a definite market for these goods.
Pottery centres across the continent produced massive quantities to keep up with the high demand for these relatively expensive ceramics. European tin-glazed earthenware has been excavated fiom archaeological sites across the world, so it was obviously considered a valuable cornrnodity to be traded and exported. According to Noel Hume, tin-glazed earthenware was the most important ceramic development in England in the seventeenth century (1 969: 105). Although this statement may be considered to be rather overarching. tin-glazed earthenware did have a large impact on the types of ceramics made in Europe during the seventeenth century.
"Tin-glazed earthenware" is the technical term for earthenware fired at low temperatures (between 450°C and 1 100 OC ) which has been covered by a lead glaze made opaque by the addition of tin oxide (Poole 1995:9).The normally water-absorbent body is made impermeabIe by applying the glaze to biscuit vessels which are then fired again (Deetz 1977:47). The second firing causes the white glaze to become fixed to the body and the pigments are fused into the glaze (Woodhouse 1974:95). Other brilliant colours are made by combining different oxides of copper, lead, manganese and antimony to produce greens, yellows, blues and purples (Rackham 1925: 103). This relatively soft ceramic cm be distinguished fiom others by the thickness of its glaze which can be seen clearly above the body of the cerarnic. It is well-suited for food and beverage service, as well as for pharmaceuticai and hygienic uses, although unsatisfactory for cooking purposes because of its inability to withstand thermal shock. The advantages of tin-glazed earthenware are that the glaze does not need to first be applied over a white slip, and is more stable in firing than a transparent lead glaze (Cooper 1972: 1 10). The main drawback is that since tin-glazed earthenware is fired at a low temperature, it tends to chip and break eady. The decoration of tin-glazed earthenware also takes great skill.
Because the surface is so absorbent, it can be compared to trying to paint on white dust or blotting paper (Clark 1995: 29). If mistakes are made, they cannot be corrected (Rackharn
1925: 103).
Tin oxide was used in glazes by the Babylonians between 1000 and 600 BC, but was only used on bricks and tiles, not vessels (Cooper 1972: 1 10). Tin-glazed earthenware first developed in ninth-century Mesopotamia, and moved across northern Afiica with the
Islarnic conquests (Clark 1995:29). Arabs brought the technique across North Afiica to
Spain by approximately AD 1250, and by the fourteenth century potters in Spain had developed Hispano-Moresque ware, a very distinctive lustre-decorated pottery (Clark
1995:29). After spreading to Italy, tin-glazed earthenware becarne known as maiolica, after the port of Majorca, which was the entry way for imported Hispano-Moresque ware
(Clark 1995:29). Tin-glazed earthenware also appeared in Germany and France, where it was known as faience, after Faenza, a pottery producing centre in Italy which was famous for whiteware in the second half of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries (Poole 1995:
9). In the Netherlands, it was known as Delft, after the main pottery-producing town
(Poole 1995: 9). In England the original name for tin-glazed earthenware was
"Galleyware" or "gallipots", words which the Oxford English Dictionary suggest derive fiom the Mediterranean ships or "galleys", which brought the tin-glazed earthenware to
Britain (Simpson et al 1989:333). An altemate explanation is that the term "galleyware" came fiom the Saxon word for clay (Austin 1994: 15). Throughout the seventeenth century terms such as "Holland ware", "painted ware" and even "bastard china" were used but by the eighteenth century it was known by the generic term "delfiware".
Tin-glazed earthenware was produced in a number of forms, most of which were a variety of dining and storage wares (Austin 1994: 15). Traditional forms include dishes, cups. bowls, basins, srnall bottles, dmg pots, wash basins, and chamber pots (Pope
1986:1 12- 1 13). In the eighteenth century, with changes in drinking habits, there was more of a demand for tea, coffee and chocolate services (Cooper 1972: 166). Large serving plates, known as chargers, and smaller. individually-sized plates were common and popular vesse1 shapes because of the flat surfaces suitable for painted decorations
(Cooper 1972: 191). Posset pots and puzzle jugs also appear in tin-glazed versions and decorative tiles were popular in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.
By the end of the eighteenth century, tin-glazed earthenware fell out of popularity. and was replaced with Wedgwood mas-produced crearnwares and transfer-printed wares.
Tin-glazed earthenware is not particularly suitable for tableware since it does not respond well to heavy use and is not suitable for large scale production (Clark 1995: 3 3). The introduction of lighter wares that were more durable signaled the end of the dominance of tin-glaze, at least in Nortfiem Europe.
4.2 England
Tin-glazed earthenware was probably first introduced in England by two Dutch potters, Jasper Andries and Jacob Jansen, who traveled from Antwerp in 1567 to settle in
Norwich (Poole 1995: 18). By 1571, Jansen had moved to London, changed his name to
Johnson and is recorded as being a "pottmaker" in Dukes Place. Aldgate, with several other Flemish potters (Poole 1995: 18). By 1615 there were thirteen Flemish potters working at this pottery (Clark 1995:29). Andries and Jansen had fled to England because of the threat of the Spanish inquisition, which in 1568 had issued a death decree for al1
Protestants living in the Low Countries (Clark l9%:3O). Because of this persecution, many potters scattered around Europe and many went to England. Although Jansen died in 1593, the pottery continued on until the early years of the seventeenth century (Poole
1995: 18). In 16 18, there is a report of another Dutch immigrant, Christian Wilhelm, who started "gallypotmaking" at Picklehemng in London, England (Clark 1995:3O). Other
Dutch immigrants followed, which explains the strong Dutch influence on many of the items made in England at that time.
Some of the earliest tin-glazed earthenware found in England are "Mailing Jugs". originally thought to have been produced in London, but now known to have been manufactured in Antwerp (Allan, pers. comm. 2000). These jugs have thick glazes and are a speckled manganese colour on the exterior which appears to be sponged on. Many have silver mounts on the necks of the jugs. Some have hallmarks which date to as early as 1549 (Clark 1995:29). The first dated piece of tin-glazed earthenware made in England is a plate dedicated to Queen Elizabeth I (1 558-1 603) and has a date of "1600" inscribed on it. It was likely made in England by Dutch or Belgian potters who had emigrated to
England, although there is some controversy as to the authenticity of this piece (Clark
1995:29). Tiles used as fire-surrounds were produced in England in the later seventeenth century, afler imported Dutch tiles became popular. Dutch tile makers moved to England after restrictions preventing the importation of Dutch tiles were instituted in the 1670s to protect the English tin-giazed earthenware industry (Poole 1995:46). Their businesses prospered, and the industry expanded.
London was originally the centre of tin-glazed earthenware production in England. with the boroughs of Lambeth and Southwark outside of London as primary centres. It was only in the later seventeenth century that a potter came to Bristol (Clark 1995:30). In the mid eighteenth century factories on a large scale were begun in Liverpool, as well as
Glasgow and Dublin. It is interesting to note that ail of these potteries are located in port towns, and were therefore more likely to have access to and an awareness of foreign goods (Cooper 1972: 190).
According to Noel Hume, the earliest wares produced in England were elaborately decorated, and it was not until mass production techniques were used that potters began to produce plain white vessels with no decorations (1969: 108). He believes this may have been partially due to the sobering effect of the Engtish Civil War, followed by the austere period of the Commonwealth (1 649-1 660). London at the time was the centre of ceramic production and also the centre of Parliamentary influence (Noel Hume 1969: 108). It is true that afier the Restoration, more colourful dishes became more popular, including large chargers ofien decorated with pictures of Adam and Eve, members of the royal farnily, and other designs. Many of these chargers were bordered by a series of blue brushstrokes around the rim, and so were known as "blue dash chargers" (Poole 199526).
Late in the Ming Dynasty (1 368- 1644), Chinese porcelain was imported by the
Dutch and English East India Cornpanies (Poole 1995: 18). It becarne very popular, but because of the expense and lack of supply there was a strong demand for Dutch and
Engtish tin-glazed imitations of Chinese designs, especially in the blue and white wares.
Part way through the seventeenth century, the Chinese influence on tin-glazed earthenware lessened in England, and more local designs were produced. This was caused by several factors. Charles 1 of England had offended the Chinese by granting import licenses to adventurers, which resulted in the Chinese closing their ports to England until
1680 (Clark 1995:30). Although some Chinese ware came to England via the Dutch, on the whole English potters did not have the sarne access to new Chinese wares. The Ming
Dynasty fell in the mid-seventeenth century, which also intempted trade (Cooper
1972: 16 1 ). As well, the 165 1 Navigation Act prohibited any Asian merchandise from entering England in anything but English-built ships, manned by at least 75% English seamen. Finally, when Oliver Cromwell was in power (1653-58), he imposed an additional customs duty of two shillings for every 20 shillings of value on the import of
"al1 manner of Earthen and Stone ware whatsoever" (Clark 199530). This served to isolate hrther English potters. By the 1680s, the prohibitions were removed, the Navigation Act was repealed and the influence of Chinese designs on English ceramics was revived. Pseudo-Chinese motifs of human figures, birds and rocks done in the Ming style proved to be popular once again, and were made well into the eighteenth century. In the later seventeenth century, new forms were produced in tin-glazed earthenware, including mugs, jugs, candlesticks, flower vases with pedestal bases. chamber pots, wash basins and apothecary pots (Noel Hume 1969: 109).
English tin-glazed earthenware vessels can often be identified by the marks caused during the firing process. Plates and dishes were originally fired stacked in kilns with trianguiar-shaped spurs separating them so the glazes of different dishes would not fuse them together (Draper 1984:25). This resulted in small circular scars on the innner surfaces of the vessels. Later firing methods involved the replacement of spurs with pegs which projected from the sides of the sagger inside the kiln. The dishes were stacked on these pegs and resulted in long, thin scars on the undersides of the vessels. These changing scars can sometimes be used to provide relative dates for English ceramic vessels.
4.3 Netherlands
When people think of tin-glazed earthenware, they tend think first of Dutch delftware. From the mid-seventeenth to the mid-eighteenth century, the Netherlands had the largest ever output of any European country. However, the town of Delft in the
Netherlands was not the true birthplace of Dutch tin-glazed earthenware. That distinction goes to Antwerp, where tin-glazed earthenware had been made in large amounts since about 15 1O (Noel Hume 1977: 1). The tom of Delft in the early seventeenth century was originally better known as a brewing centre, but after establishing its potting industry. it soon dominated the Dutch cerarnic industry. Styles of painting were influenced by the
Italian potters that came to the Netherlands in the early years, but gradually different styles developed. In 1602 the Dutch East Company was formed, and in 1609 the first shipments of Chinese porcelain were brought back (Cooper 1992: 160). Although many countries copied the new Chinese designs, Dutch potters in Delft were regarded as having the most refined and sophisticated wares (Carnegy 1993:45). In the seventeenth century tile-making also became popular. Initially intended for use in halls and around entranceways in an effort to protect clothing fiom whitewashed walls, they were soon used to surround firepiaces and eventually entire walls (Carnegy 1993:45). Rotterdam was the centre of the tile industry and exported its products around the world.
4.4 Italy
In the fifieenth century Italian maiolica was strongly influenced by Gothic and
Oriental styles, and different regions developed their own distinctive wares (Cooper
1972: 15). By the 1500s, the technique of making majolica was well established in Italy with Faenza as the leading centre of tin-glazed earthenware production and competition with imported Spanish lustrewares spurring on the development of new wares. During the
Renaissance the tradition of elaborately painting drug jars or albarellos developed
(Cooper 1972: 156). In 1557, a treatise entitled "The Three Books of the Potters Art" was written by Cipriano Picolpaso, an amateur Italian potter. The book described the technical details of the tin-glazed earthenware pottery industry of the time, and has been used by many researchers to understand the methods used to produce ltalian tin-glazed earthenware (Thomton 1997: 1 16) The technique of "istoriato". which was a decorative style involving the painting of elaborate and colourful scenes over the entire surfaces on wares evolved during the sixteenth century. Subjects painted were usually of narrative subjects of religious or historical characters from nature and Greek mythology
(Woodhouse 1974:97). These designs covered the entire surface of the ware, usually plates because of their smooth flat surfaces. This style raised majolica to fine art, but the best quality examples were produced before the end of the sixteenth century (Woodhouse
1974: 101).
As a reaction to these heavily decorated wares, plain white dishes known as
"Bianchi" became popular at the end of the sixteenth century. Instead of using colorful glazes, moulding and relief piercing were used with a minimum of glaze (Carnegy
1993:33). During the seventeenth century the main maiolica potteries were in the towns of Montelupo, Albisola, Genoa, and Savona in Liguria and Castelli in the Abniui region
(Cohen et al. 1993:56). Tin was imported great distances to Italy from across Europe
(Thomton 1997: 1 17). Like other European countries, production of Italian tin-glazed earthenware was affected by the changes in dernand across the country by the end of the seventeenth century. 4.5 France
Throughout the sixteenth century. many wares made in France were very similar to Italian ones (Carnegy 199337). The plain white wares, known as "bianchi di Faenza" produced in Faenza became popular in France afier about 1550. An added bonus with this trend was that plain white wares were inexpensive to make, and could be quickly produced alongside the more intricately decorated istoriato dishes (Carnegy 1993:37). By the early seventeenth century, a new individual French style had developed which included Chinese influences adopted from the porcelain imported by the Dutch. The forms made were French. but the decorations Chinese. A "bIeu de Nevers" style was developed, which included flowers, birds and leaves painted in white and yellow on a dark blue background (Carnegy 1993:38). This technique may have evolved from the blue grounds seen in wares fiom Venice, Faenza and Castelli (Carnegy 1993:38).
Prior to the eighteenth century, most tin-glazed earthenware in France was used in pharmacies. or was for ceremonial or architectural use. The plain white wares were only used by the middle class, while the nobility ate fiom gold or silver. This changed with the passing of the Sumptuary Edict of 17G3 Lj-Louis XIV. Al1 gold and silver plate in France had to be melted down to pay for the high costs of war (Clark 1995:29). Tin-glazed earthenware then became extremely popular which caused the industry to expand, and new factories to open. Tin-glaze was seen as being more hygienic than other types of earthenware, and the industry had difficulty keeping up with the demand. Like England, there was a decline in the populârity by the end of the eighteenth century with the rise in popularîty of Staffordshire white wares and creamwares (Carnegy 1993:43). 4.6 Spain
Spain and Portugal share many similarities in developrnent, because of the close relationship of the two countries in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Portugal was under Spanish rule from 1580 to 1640, so there was a lot of sharing of techniques and artistic influences, which at times makes it difficult to distinguish between the products of the two countries. The first presence of tin-glazed earthenware in Spain is recorded before the eleventh century (Goggin 19685) It has been attributed the influx of Muslim invaders during the time. Metallic lustre overglazes of Hispano-Moresque wares becarne popular, and was the dominant tradition in the country during the years of Arabic domination (Goggin 1968:s).This industry declined in most areas during the sixteenth century when the Moors were expelled. It is unknown where the lustenvare found in
Ferryland is hm,but it may have a Catalan, or Aragonese sources. Another possibility is that is may be fiom Manises, in northem Spain (Calado, pers. comm. 1999). At the begiming of the sixteenth century. a new style developed. Elaborate polychrome styles developed in Italy during the Renaissance become popular in Spain, and this reached its peak in the town of Talavera in the seventeenth century (Goggin 1968:6) Styles of tin- glazed earthenware fiom France also had a great deal of influence in later years. (Goggin
1968:3). Similar to Portugal, production of tin-glazed earthenware continued on in Spain even afier the decline in popularity in the rest of Europe. 4.7 Portugal
It is uncertain when production of majolica began in Portugal, but it appears to be in the second half of the sixteenth century (Calado 1992: 1 1 ). Examination of histoncal records of this tirne show that the words "porcelain" and "faience" are ofien used interchangeably. In 1563 the Archbishop of Braga encouraged Pope Pius N to use
"Lisbon porcelain"; since it was made of clay, it was obviously more hygienic and pleasing to the eye than any table wares made of precious metals (Calado 1992: 1 1).
Portuguese tin-glazed earthenware was first sent to Spain in 1582 when Philip II of Spain
(who was also Philip 1 of Portugal) wanted pears sent to him while in Portugal. He forwarded a number of boxes to Spain to pack the pears in. and as he thought it wasteful to send empty boxes, he filled them with faience. He called it "porcelain of a new kind". as he had never seen it before (Calado 1992: 1 1). The first written mention of exportation of Portuguese faience is in a letter written in 1625 by Severim de Faria, who describes a potter coming to Lisbon from Talavera in Spain (Calado 1992: 13). He describes the beauty of the ware and compares it favorably to porcelain.
In the 1500s Lisbon was the centre of Portuguese production, but by the seventeenth century other towns were also rnanufacturing it. At the height of production.
Lisbon alone was producing over 28,000 pieces per year (Calado 1992:32). It was a thriving industry, but as more Chinese porcelain arrived in Europe, the arnount of
Portuguese tin-glazed earthenware exported throughout Europe decreased until it was mainly serving the local market. Emphasis then tumed to the tile-making business. Even today, tin-glazed earthenware is made in Portugal. There is a paucity of written sources pertaining to archaeological tin-glaze fiom Portugal but only because archaeologists have
traditionally focused on the Roman period at the expense of the seventeenth century. This
is beginning to change, with recent research being carried out by archaeologists at the
University of Oporto.
Early seventeenth-century Portuguese pieces show Spanish, Italian and Near
Eastern influences (Calado 1992:27). Jan Baart in Amsterdam has excavated sites in
Amsterdam where Portuguese Jews lived in the first half of the seventeenth century
having fled Portugal because of the persecutions of the time. In Vloyenburg, Netherlands.
Baart has found pieces dating fiom approximately 1600- 1625 which have geometrical
motifs, stylized floral designs and paintings of isolated birds as decorations (Calado
1992:37). These are more European- or Arab-influenced designs, rather than Chinese. By
mid-century, the Portuguese developed their own interpretations of Chinese designs,
which did not have a great deal of significance to them. Instead. they adapted them to fit
their own life-experiences. As the designs changed, the potters gave nicknames to sorne
designs that were very cornmon (Fernandes, et al 1W7:2 1 ). An example of this is the
"aranhoe" or "big spider" pattern. Originally a copy of Chinese artemisa leaves. the design evolved into a border of circular huit-like shapes with leaves altemating with ovals filled with radiating lines. Other exarnples of this trend are the "rendas" or "lace pattern" named afier the similarity to lace on the edges of tablecloths. The pattern is characterized by semi-circular shapes with a scalloped border. Originally the Chinese had painted parts of peacock feathers. Chinese scales turned into a Portuguese bead design known as "contas". It consists of a recurring border of triangles consisting of three and sometimes six, dot-filled semicircles (Sassoon 198 1 :1 14).
Portuguese painters used only blue, and occasionally yellow on early pieces but fier 1650 they used manganese purple to outline figures (Calado l992:V). Dunng the
1660s and 1670s after the Dutch controlled a large portion of the international tin-glazed earthenware market, designs evolved to suit Portuguese desires and some Say they became more spontaneous and fiee (Fernandes et al 199723, Calado 19925 1). However, by the end of the seventeenth century, the quality of Portuguese tin-glue changed. becoming heavier and the enarnel coarser, and the designs became more stereotyped. Chapter 5
Tin-glazed earthenware: Fabrics, forms and designs
5.1 Introduction
Tin-glue earthenware from different countnes can ofien be identified by characteristics such as fabnc colour, relative hardness of fabric, and the presence of any inclusions. Typical colours used in decoration or styles of motifs can aIso be helpful. A major problem with this method for European tin-glazed earthenware is that many potters moved from town to town and country to country, bnnging with them their ways of making and decorating pottery. There was a great deal of sharing of ideas and copying of motifs, so it is difficult at times to attribute cerarnics to one specific country. A good example is the Large influx of Dutch potters who came to England in the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries and because of the difficulties of attributing vessels to a specific country, many researchers have stopped trying to distinguish Dutch and English wares. During the sarne period, Portugal was under Spanish mle, and because of the large amount of intemal trade in the area it is often easier to use the general tem "Iberian" when refemng to wares from this part of Europe. Studies that deterrnine the chernical compositions of clays or glazes have attempted to give a scientific definition of country of origin, but these also run into difficulties when it is noted that at times clays were imported great distances. For exampie, clay from Norwich, East Anglia was sent to the
Netherlands well into the eighteenth century (Austin 1994: 1 5). As well, tin fiom the mines in Cornwall, England, was cxported across Europe for use in glazes, so results fiom studies of glazes can be misleading. Within these limitations, the following section describes some general characteristics of the different countries' tin-glazed earthenware.
5.2 English tin-glaze
The fabnc of English tin-glazed earthenware is similar to Dutch, and has a sofi. chalky texture which ranges fiom buff, or pale yellow to bright pink. The fabric becomes softer and more buff-coloured after firing (Bloice 197 1 :14 1). There are some small red and white inclusions visible in English fabrics, but they are not as noticeable as the ones found in Iberian wares. The fabric tends to be slightly harder than Dutch tin-glaze and glazes ofien spall or craze. Some vessels are covered with a pink-tinged white glaze which is caused by the iron-rich clay showing through (Archer 1997: 19). Although
British tin-glazed vessels made before c. 1670 were cornmonly made with a lead or thinned tin-glaze on the back, al1 of the vessels fiom Fenyland except for two appear to have tin-glaze on both the front and back (Noel Hume 1977: 1). Decoration, if present, usualiy consists of flowers, foliage, birds, and at times human figures or inscriptions, al1 in monochrome blue (Pope 1986: 1 16). Geometric designs of chevrons or crosses are common on apothecary pots, but smaller ointment pots are usually left undecorated. Plain white plates first appear in the third quarter of the seventeenth century, some with decorations in the centres with inscriptions and dates painted in blue (Noel Hume
1969: 109). Large amounts of white tin-glazed earthenware were produced throughout the seventeenth century, and make up the majority of the English vessels in the Fenyland collection. 5.3 Dutch delftware
Dutch tin-glazed earthenwe began king produced in several centres beginning about 15 1O (Pope 1986: 1 15). It is characterized by hard buff, yellow or beige fabrics. The fabric of Dutch tiles is more of a reddish colour. Glazes range from briiliant shiny white to grey-tinged white. At times, a transparent overglaze ("kwaart ") is used to make the vesse1 more shiny, and this can sometimes aid identification, although it was also used in
England after about 1690 (Clark 199530). Another possible way to distinguish Dutch tin- glazed earthenware fiom other types may be to examine the shape of brushstrokes used in decoration (Plate 1). The use of squared off brushes is more typically Dutch, and so the painted lines should have angular instead of rounded edges (Calado, pers. cornm., 1999).
Decoration typically consist of monochrome blue scrolls, flowers and foliage. and is heavily influenced by Italian and Chinese designs (Draper 1984:28; Schaefer 1998: 49).
After about 1650- 1660, Dutch painters decorated tin-glazed earthenware mainly with
Chinese decorations (Schaefer 1998:s 1 ). Polychrome designs of tulips were especially popular near the end of the seventeenth century when greens, reds and yellows began to be widely used (Cooper 1972: 161). As noted previously, it is difficult to distinguish
English and Dutch tin-glazed earthenware, because of the movement of Dutch potters to
England and also because English clays were sent to the Netherlands (Noel Hume
1977: 16). As well, English tin fiom Cornwall was shipped al1 over Europe for use in the pottery industry. 5.4 Italiaa tin-glazed earthenware (Majolica)
This earthenware is recognized by its hard and fine-grained fabric, usually creamy-buff in colour, but also occuning in pink and orange shades (Fairctough l976:76). It ofien appears buff or brown after first firing (Woodhouse 1974:95). The tin- glaze is generally well-fitting and evenly applied overall. and is less likely to craze than glazes from other countries (Thornton 1997: 1 17). The Italian vessels from Ferryland match these descriptions, but also include one vessel with a pale greyish fabnc, and are generally covered with polychrome decorations of yellows, oranges, greens and blues.
One vessel has traces of a yellow leaf design outlined in black or dark purple manganese.
5.5 French faience
French faience was produced in many different towns across France afier 1500
(Pope 1986:1 14). One of the major centres during the seventeenth century was Rouen, located on the Seine River between Paris and the Coast (Walthall 1991 :83). The potters in
Rouen had developed many new styles of decoration including intricate borders. lacework and scroll designs which were widely copied by the begiming of the eighteenth century
(Walthall 1991:83). The fabrics of French faience at Ferryland range fiom grey, yellow or buff, to pink, orange or even a dark red brown, which is restricted to cooking vessels. The fabric often has a sofk, chaiky texture. Glazes are usually white, sometimes tinted a light blue, and bodies are normally thin and delicate (Pope 1986:1 14). Typically the glue is fairly thick, and does not flake easily. Decorations are ofien in blue, and floral motifs are popular. Decorated borders are common on vessels fiom later dates. In the eighteenth cenhuy a type of heavy, red bodied faience with brown glaze on the exterior and white glaze on the interior was produced, and proved to be popular for use in cooking
(Blanchette 198 1). 'T'bis ,fnknce brune had two subtypes known: Rouen Plain and Rouen
Blue on White. Rouen Plain was an undecorated brown and white glazed ware intended for the preparation and sewing of food (Walthall 1991 :93). Rouen Blue on White consisted of platters, bowls or deep dishes with interior painted rim borders including a floral or geometric motif, intended for use in serving (Walthall 1991:93-94). [n the mid- eighteenth century plain white plates decorated around the rims with a single stripe of pale blue were also common (Noel Hume 1969:142)
5.6 Spanish tin-glazed earthenware
In Fenyland. the only Spanish tin-glazed earthenware found was of Eumpean origin, rather than that of the wares produced in the New World. Spanish tin-glaze is very simiiar to Portuguese, with white, or off white glazes decorated in blue. One difference is that Spanish vessels seem to be generally decorated in a darker shade of grey-blue than
Portuguese vessels. Fabrics are sofi, and range from yellow to buff. Similar to Portuguese tin-glazed earthenware, Spanish vessels tend to have many pin-holes in the glaze on the backs of vessels, and have a tendency to corrode in the burial environment.
Another type of Spanish tin-glaze found at Fenyland is lustreware, which was developed by Persian potters in the Middle East in the eighth century, and spread to
Europe during the Middle Ages (Harris et al 199352). It is a technique of decoration ofien made by depositing an iridescent metallic film ont0 glazes (Harris et al 199352). Oxides or sulfides of copper, silver or gold can be dissolved in acid, combined with an
oily medium, and then painted ont0 the wares. In Spain. the copper lustre was painted
over the tin-glaze and required a second firing (Archer 1997: 1 8). Copper mixed with gold
results in a reddish lustre, while copper mixed with silver produces a more yellowish
colour. These lustres are then re- fired at low temperatures in a reducing atmosphere
which causes the metallic film to adhere to the cerarnic surface. Many of the motifs and
patterns derive fiom lslamic sources and were ofien interiwined with European designs
(Cohen et al 1993:46). It remained a popuiar ceramic in most of Europe until about 1600, when it was supplanted by gilding, but lustreware continued to be a much sought-afier item in Iberia throughout the eighteenth century (Harris et al 199352).
Lustreware fiom the Ferryland collection is typified by a fine buff or pink sandy fabnc, with a buff or pink tinged tin-glaze. The lustre is made fiom copper, which results in a reddish-tinged colour and is typical of pieces made throughout the seventeenth century (Allan 1995:3OO; Hurst et al. 1986:49). Decorations of swirls and foliate designs ofien appear in the pieces in the Ferryland collection, and some sherds have traces of a blue glaze as well as the lustre on their interior surfaces (Plate 2). Several pieces have a paler lustre, which might be caused by overfiring, or by the depositional environment.
Only seven vessels of lustreware have been found in Ferryland. They consist of srna11 bowls, porringers, plates and a handle from a jug. They might possibly be from Manises in Spain, which had a strong Moorish-influenced local tradition of producing lustreware beginning in the mid-fourteenth century, or have an Catalan or Aragonese source (Calado, pers. cornm, 1999; Fairbanks 1982:39S). Jugs were not commonly produced in lustreware during the seventeenth century, so the Ferryland specimen is a very rare example (Hurst et al. 1986:49).
5.7 Portuguese
Portuguese tin-glazed earthenware is characterized by a yellow or buff fabric. It typically has rather a sandy texture, with noticeable black or red iron inclusions visible to the naked eye. Pendery (1999~63)suggests that Portuguese clays were put through some kind of processing or refinement because of the lack of large inclusions in examples recovered fiom seventeenth-century New England sites, but this is definitely not the case with Iberian tin-glazed earthenware found at Feny land. Several vessels have reci inclusions so large they are nearly the same thickness as the vessels (Plate 3). Bodies can be rilled, and are usually even and heaky (Pope 1986: 1 14). Many of the thicker, heavier bowls have escudilla-type bases, instead of footrings. Glazes used on these wares are usually off-white, and at times are thinly and unevenly applied. The glaze tends to flake off the body, and on the underside or backs of vessels there is often a large nurnber of pinholes caused by air bubbles in the glaze. Portuguese wares often attract corrosion products in the archaeological record. Another typical characteristic is that many vessels appear to have low foot rings, which have a much wider diarneter in proportion to the vesse1 as compared to wares fiom other counuies.
Decoration is often in blue and white, with manganese outlining and decoration used in pieces made afier 1650 (Calado, pers. comm., 1999). Polychrome decoration also appears, with yellow, greens and blue motifs in the forms of rings, bands, and dots, and stylized floral designs are common (Pope 1986: 1 14). Geometric designs of alternating
thick and thin blue lines are characteristic of the pre- 1625 period (Calado, pers. cornrn.,
1999) (Plate 5). The "aranhoe" (big spider) design evolved from Portuguese potters
copying Chinese porcelain afier about 1649 (Calado l992:33). (Plate 4) The "rendas"
(embroidery) pattern and the "contas" (bead) design evolved in the first half of the
seventeenth centq. (Plates 5,6,7)During the later seventeenth century, the "minute"
design became popular. It was a style of decoration in which tiny blue Chinese-inspired
motifs outlined in manganese were painted over the entire surface of the vessel
(Monteiro, pers.comrn., 1999). Currently, there does not appear to be any examples of
this decorative style in the Ferryland archaeological record. Another typical Iberian motif
consists of groups of several dots surrounding floral designs, although later on the Dutch
copied this motif (Calado pers. comm., 1999). On the whole, Iberian paintwork is ofien in
the fom of fiee, even, hasty brushwork (Pope 1986: 114). Backs of vessels are ofien
decorated with large "s" shapes interspersed with vertical lines, some of which may be in
imitation of Chinese tassels (Kirkman 1974: 120). In the eighteenth century, plain white
dishes become common, known as "malegueira".
5.8 Forms of vessels present in the archaeological record in Ferryland
A wide variety of vessel forms has been recovered from the Fenyland
archaeological record. In the past, archaeologists and researchers have had dificulty
agreeing on typology, especially in Europe. The Potomac Typological System (POTS), originally developed for use on colonial Chesapeake sites, is a way to identiQ consistently the different vessels on the basis of form and fimction attributes (Beaudry et
al. 1991). Vessels are divided into different categories such as Food Service, Kitchen and
Dairy, Cooking, Beverage Service, and Hygiene. This system is particularly usefid
because of the sirnilarities between Newfoundland and Arnerican coastal north eastern
sites, and has been successfdly utilized in the past by other researchers exarnining the
material culture of Fenyland (Pope 1986; Nixon 1999; Crompton, forthcoming).
Where this system is lacking, 1 have added definitions for forrns not included in
the original typological system. 1 have also grouped bowls under the Food Service
category, because it seems a more suitable place for this fom. Tin-glazed earthenware is a very decorative form of ceramic and not often used in cooking, so it was more likely to
be used in the presentation of food, rather than the preparation of it. Finally. 1 have added a sixth category for tin-glazed earthenware which does not fit into the former categories
such as tiles or items for ideotechnic purposes.
5.8.1 Food Service
BOWL: An open vesse1 with convex sides, with a plain or everted rim (Beaudry et al
199 1 26).They can appear with or without footrings (Pope 1986: 130). These vessels were used in food preparation and storage and were used most often in the kitchen or dairy (Beaudry et al 1991 :26). Tin-glazed earthenware bowls were also used in the presentation and serving of food. DISH: A dish is a large serving vessel with a diameter of at least 25 cm, and a diameterheight ratio of 5: 1 (Beaudry et al 199 1 :26). They cm be made with or without footrings, and are made in shallow or deep foms (Beaudry et al 1991:26).
LOBED DISH: A variety of dish, used as decoration or for in the presentation of food.
These dishes were either made with an even number of lobes (such as 8 or 12). or with a fluted border.
PLATE: A shallow, medium-sized vessel with a diameter of between 18 to 25 cm and a diameter/height ratio of at least 5: 1 (Beaudry et al 1991:26). They are more suited to individual servings rather than the larger dishes (Pope 1986: 132). Plates appear in both shallow and deep foms.
SAUCER: A small, shallow vessel?less than 18 cm in diameter. with a diameterheight ratio of 5: 1 or more (Pope 1986: 132). Saucers were made for serving condiments. and also could have been used as srnaII plates (Beaudry et al 199 1 :27).
PORRiNGER: A small vessel, usually less than 18 cm in diameter, with a diarneter:height ratio of one or more, and with one or two handles (Pope 1986: 133). They are usually hemispherically shaped and shallower than a cup or a pot (Beaudry et al
1991:25). They were used for serving stews, soups, pottage or other semi-solid foods
(Pope 1986: 133). SALT DISH: A vessel used for serving salt, usually with a shallow. dish-shaped receptacle on the upper surface used to contain the salt (Beaudry et al 1991 :27). It is often formed with a pedestal base, with the base diameter roughly equal to the that of the rim
(Hinton 1988:3 1 1).
SILLABUB POT: A pot with a spout and handles. sometimes a lid, used for drinking and serving sillabub, posset and wassail (Beaudry et al 1991 95).
5.8.2 Beverage Service
CUP: Small drinking vessels with a capacity of less than 0.5 litres (1 pint) (Pope
1986: 133). Cups have one handle each and are closely related to drinking pots, which are larger (Beaudry et al. 1991:23). Their size makes them suitable for individual servings.
MUG: A straight-sided drinking vessel with one handle, taller than wide, with a capacity of O. 1 litre (1 gill) to 2 litres or more (Beaudry et al. 1991 :23). The larger mugs could have been used for communal drinking (Pope 1986: 134).
JUG/PITCHER: A handled vessel with a cylindrical neck above a bulbous form (Beaudry et al 199 1 :23). Jugs have pronounced shoulders, and cm range in size from small drinking vessels to large serving vessels (Beaudry et al. 199 1 23). BOTTLE: A bulbous storage vessel, also used for serving having a narrow neck, and with
or without a handle (Beaudry et al. 1991 :24).The opening is usually less than 1 /3 the
maximum diameter, without a spout (Pope 1986: 135). Bottles were used for storage of
liquids.
PUNCHBOWL: Bowls used for serving punch or other alcoholic beverages, these
vessels could be in larger sizes for communal use or smaller for individual use.
Punchbowls are characterized by a thin body and thin, high footring.
5.8.3 Kitchen and dairy
POT: A large, cylindrical or slightly convex vessel, with a diameterheight ratio of less
than 1: 1, that is, taller than wide (Beaudry et al. 199 1:29). Some foods in the seventeenth
century, such as meat, fish or fowl were also stored in pots under a layer of fat (Grant
198354). it is possible one of the vessels identified in this thesis as a wide, shallow
ointment pot could also have been used for this purpose (Austin l994:ZO 1 ).
JAR: A large, heavy bodied vessel, taller than wide with a constncted neck (Beaudry et al. 199 1 :29). They typically have rounded shoulders and a heavy, rounded lip (Beaudry et al. 1991 :29). Storage jars usually held water, oil or beer, although they couId have been reused for other purposes. LID: Lids were comonly used for closing jars or pots. Typically in the form of a flat or
slightly cuwed disk, they often had curved rims (Pope 1986: 130). They are difficult to
recognize in the archaeological record because of their similar appearance to other vessels
when in a fragmentary state.
COLANDER: These shallow vessels typically have a circular shape, vertical sides and a
flat pierced bottom (Boyazoglu 105: 1983). Variations on colanders also include bowls
with a divided interior section, used to strain liquids from foods.
5.8.4 Hygiene
GALLEY POT: Cylindrical vessels made only from th-glazed earthenware with slightly
flared rims and bases (Beaudry et al 199 1 :30). They were used for drugs, ointments cosmetics and at times condiments (Beaudry et al 1991 :30).
CHAMBER POT: Large, convex-sided vessels with sturdy flared rims or brims (Beaudry et al 1991 :30). Receptacles for human waste, they came into more widespread use in the seventeenth centurv (Amis 1968).
BARBERS BOWLSI BLEEDING BOWLS: Used for shaving or for bleeding, these bowls have a wide flat rim, and steep sides. Characteristics include a small depression in the rim, used as a thumb hold or to hold shaving cream, and a large cutout arc in the rim to hold the bowl tightly around a person's neck or against his chest (Austin 1994:236). 5.8.5 Cooking
TERRiNE: The only tin-glazed earthenware that was used in cooking was a heavy bodied ware called "brown faience" made in the eighteenth century in France (Noel
Hume 1977: 142). Several pieces of a terrine have been recovered from Fersrland. A
TERRINE is a semi-cylindical container, with a vertical foortring, a straight rim and small lug handles (Blanchette 198 1:39).
5.8.6 "Other" Function
IDEOTECKNIC FIGURINE: Although this cannot properly be called a vessel, tin-glazed figurines were made in some European countries. Variously identified as a candle-holder, a spout for a teapot, an anthropomorphic bottle. or a small jar for holding olive oil, the one found at Ferryland could possibly represent a religious character, and appears to have been made in Portugal.
TRAY: Small, steep-sided dish with a pronged wide flat rim. This vessel was used to hold small glas bottles containing water and wine for use in Roman Catholic Mass
(Calado, pers.comm 1999).
PUZZLE JUG: A variation on a jug; a vessel with a pierced neck so that any atternpt to pour would result in spillage. These humorous vessels' trick lies in the senes of spouts around the rim and connected to a hoilow handle (Henrywood 1997:S 14). Users must cover up al1 but one of the spouts, and suck the liquid fiom the remaining one. Nomally another hole, typically under the handle must also be covered for this to work properly
(Hemywood l997:X7.) Puzzle jugs are ofien painted with rhymes daring the user to try to drink fiom it and were popular throughout the seventeenth century.
TILE: These flat, square forms were made in large quantities in many European countries for decoration of floors and walls, and ofien surrounded firepiaces.
This terminology includes al1 forms of vessels made of tin-glazed earthenware found at
Fenyland, Newfoundland. The following chapter consists of an analysis of the vessels found using the above typo1ogy . Chapter 6
Ware analysis
6.1 Introduction
In this chapter methods used to determine the total number of identifiable tin-
glazed earthenware vessels fiom the Fenyland collection will be discussed. Results of
this process are shown in graph form, as well as proportions of vessels by country of
origin. The vessels were divided into seven major time periods which match the evolution
of the Ferryland settlement over time, so trends in amounts of tin-glaze arriving in
Ferryland can be seen, and will be further discussed in Chapter 7. Descriptions of the
vessels found in the archaeological record make up the majority of this chapter.
6.2 Ceramic totals/counts
For this analysis, the sherds in the Ferryland collection were divided by surface
decoration and fabric colour, and were cross-mended in order to identiQ the vessel forms
represented in the assemblage. This was achieved by recognizing the overall size and
shape of vessels as well as particular diagnostic rims or base forms. The vessels are
extremely fragmentary, and as a result there are many sherds which could not be assigned
to any particular vessel. These extra sherds were not included in the vessel list (See
Appendix A for the complete list and descriptions of vessels.)
Minimum vessel counts (MNV) were taken from the assemblage of tin-glazed earthenware for use in statistical comparisons of the fiequencies and forms of vessels fiom different countries. 5 70 di fferent vessels were recognized, fiom six different countries. At times, it was difficult to distinguish between English and Dutch ceramics,
and Spanish and Portuguese ceramics. so blended categories were also created and added.
When there was any uncertainty about the specific country of origin (i.e. the vessel form
and decoration was produced in two countries around the same time period) the vessel
was assigned to one of the joint EnglishlDutch or Iberian categories. (See Figure 6.1 for
results of the analysis) When the categories were further blended to include onty an
"Englis~utch"category, an "Iberian" category and an "Other" category. different
proportions resulted, as cm be seen in Figure 6.2.
6.3 Ceramic Dating
Ceramic dating can be used to date the occupation of an archaeological site, since
ceramics change in tems of style and form over time. Tin-glazed earthenwares have been
well docurnented as to their locations of manufacture, dates of production. and trends in
style or decoration throughout the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. By determining
dates associated with each vessel in the assemblage fiom Ferryland, information about the
times of occupation of different areas of the site cmbe gained. The assemblage of tin-
glazed earthenware was dated by recording the dates of production for each vessel
determined through comparing the forms and decorations with published sources. This
was done in an effort to encompass the total range of years of production by ascertaining
the earliest and latest dates of production of each of the vessels. Ceramic experts in
Europe and North America were also consulted when the w~ttendocumentation was ei ther unhelpful or ambiguous. At times the dates of production covered a very broad time span; for example some Iberian vessels could only be very generally dated and were found to have a period of production fiom approximately the beginning of the seventeenth century to the end of the eighteenth. This long period of production meant that the vessels could have arrived in Fenyland at any point during the occupation of the site. This information is not especially helpfid and for these vessels, comparisons were made with the dates of other artifacts excavated within the same event, and a narrower date range assigned. For other vessels the date of production could be more narrowly determined; for example. the
"aranhoe" style of decoration was used by Portuguese potters fiom approximately 1650-
1675 (Pendery 1999:63). This kind of information is more useful, in that it indicates a more accurate time period in the seventeenth century date for the use of particular artifacts.
In an effort to date more clearly the tin-glazed earthenware, the vessels have been divided into the seven main time periods of the occupation of the site which can be separated by datable horizons.
1500- 1620 Migratory fishery penod 162 1- 1629 Calvert occupation 1630- 1638 Fisher folk 163 8- 1660 Planter fishery expansion 1660- 1673 Economically stable period for planters 1674- 1696 Period from Dutch raid of 1674 to French attack of 1696 1696+ Re-occupation period after French attack
These periods correspond to major blocks of time throughout the history of
Ferryland. The first period, spanning the years between 1500 and 1620, was the time of the migratory fishery in Newfoundland. Fishers were coming to fish at Fenyland on a seasonal basis, but were not living there permanently. As a result, one would not expect to find evidence of much tin-glaze in this period.
The second period dates to the occupation of the Calvert family. One would expect to see more evidence of tin-glaze closer to the end of this period, when Calvert and his family came to live at Ferryland. Although the Calverts only lived in Fenyland for a year, one would still expect to see some evidence of their higher status to appear in the archaeological record.
The third period dates from 1630- 1637, and was the period of time after the departure of the Calvert family and before the arriva1 of the Kirkes. One would expect to see some evidence of tin-glazed earthenware, although not in large quantities as there were no great influes of new settlers to the colony.
The years between 1638- 1660 make up the fourth period. The decision was made not to subdivide this category Merto mark the time when Treworgie was the governor of Fenyland during the 1650s. Although he managed the colony for nearly a decade, when legal battles ensued between the Kirkes and Calverts, one would not expect this tirne period to be able to be distinguished archaeologically. During this time period there was an increase in the number of people coming to Ferryland, so this may be visible in the number of vessels found which date to this time period.
The fifth period lasted fiom 1660- 1673, a time of stable planter life. 1660 was also the year of the Restoration, and with the end of many long-lasting wars, international trade involving England began to increase. The settlement at Ferryland grew rapidly during this time, although the major wave of emigration from England to North Amerka
was over by 1660. At the same time, there were decreases in the amounts of fish caught
of the Coast of Newfoundland, which must have been a cause for concern among the
fishers.
The sixth period, fiom 1674 to 1696 dates from the time of the Dutch raid on the colony up to the French attack and destruction of the settlement. In the 1680s the fishery recovered fiom the stresses of the previous decade, and the amounts of fish caught increased. However, at the sarne time, there was also an economic crisis in the fish trade which was a result of the collapse of the Spanish currency in the early 1680s (Pope
1995: 19-20). This would have had a strong effect on the economy of Newfoundland, as
Spain was a major market for Newfoundland fish. From approximately 1684- 1696 there was a period of slow economic growth, but it is not certain what the root cause of this was. In the 1670s some fish merchants in England had tried to stop planters fiom settling in Newfoundland, because they felt it would affect their chances of having control of the fishery and profiting fiom it. Although this might have explained any economic downturn during the I670s, by the 1680s the fish merchants had been proven to be unsuccessful, so this explanation from earlier times does not account for the problems a decade later.
The final period dates fiom after the destruction and brief depopulation of
Ferryland, in 1696. The main occupation of Ferryland had already passed by the end of the seventeenth century, so the tin-glaze dating fiom this time period will not have as much significance as some of the earlier vessels in describing the history of the site. As well, by the mid-eighteenth century, tin-glaze was beginning to decline in popularity, and was being replaced by creamwares and other refined earthenwares.
By separating the vessels into these categories, trends in the acquisition of tin- glazed earthenware cmbe seen. The majority of the tin-gIaze dates from 1638- 1660, which was the period of the Kirke occupation. Figure 6.3. contains the result of this analysis. A factor which must be taken into account when dating the vessels is the issue of curation. Tin-glazed earthenware was more expensive than most other ceramics, and was relatively difficult to acquire in a settlement like Ferryland, located on the economic fi-ingeof Europe. The vessels would have been valued and looked after carefblly. Many vessels found at Ferryland were of such good quality that they were probably used for decoration rather than as items for everyday use. With less daily Wear and tear, the vessels would have had a greater chance of surviving unbroken for longer periods of time, and wouid be more likely to show up in later contexts than might normally be expected.
Having said this, once tin-glazed earthenware is broken, it is difficult to repair, and any joins will always be seen. There is no evidence of any attempt to repair any of the vessels found at Ferryiand.
6.4 Forms of vessels
Twenty-five different forms of vessels made in tin-glazed earthenware can be recognized fiom the archaeologicai record at Fenyland. The vessels were divided into a modified fom of the POTS system, as outlined in Chapter 5. The results are shown in Figure 6.4. Well over half the vessels can be classified under the Food Service heading. with the other groups making up lesser amounts.
6.4.1 Food Service vessels
The food service category was fùrther subdivided into 8 sub-categories, as outlined in Chapter 5. The totals for this category can be seen in Figure 6.5. Plates are the largest of the subsections, followed by bowls, saucers, lobed dishes, porringers. sillabub pots, dishes and finally salt dishes, of which the Ferryland collection has only one.
Further descriptions of each of the sub-categories follow below.
6.4.1.1. Plates
Flatwares, including various size of plates, were the major products produced by tin-glazed earthenware potteries from the sixteenth century onwards (Archer 19W:ïO).
Individual plates and chargers replaced the communal bread trenchers used in the Middle
Ages, although wooden trenchers were still used in Britain well into the nineteenth century (Archer 1997:70). Smailer plates. like the ones found at Femyland. were not made in England in any great numbers until the 1620s (Archer 1997:70). 142 different plates were found in the collection. Most are approximately 20 cm in diameter, and nearly al1 have footrings. Like dishes, plates occur in both shallow and deep forms.
Several of the English plates have backs which were covered in a lead glaze, while the front is decorated in tin-glaze. This glazing technique was used by potters dwing the first seventy years of the seventeenth century, to try to Save money (Noel Hume 1977: 1). Tin for the glaze \vas expensive, so by covenng the backs of vessels with
a lead glaze, less tin-glaze was used. The reasoning was that the backs of plates were not
normally seen, so a different glaze would not be noticed. Still, only two plates in the
entire collection were lead glazed on their backs, so they are definitely a minority in the
collection. This could also mean that the plates completely covered with tin-glue are of a
higher quality, and inay have been more expensive to purchase.
Most of the plates in the Ferryland collection are simply decorated, ofien with
merely a single stripe painted near the rim or are undecorated. Fifteen shallow,
undecorated plates covered with a thick white glaze are believed to be of English origin
(Plate 8). They are not al1 part of a matched set, because of slight differences in form and glaze as well as fabric colour, and date to different time periods. Al1 have diameters of approximately 20 cm. One plate may have been used for draining juices from meat, as it has a raised section on the intenor base. The modem term for a plate of this form is "harn and tongue" plate (McNabb, pers comm., 1999). Only two plates fiom the entire collection have no footring at all, and both are covered with a plain white glaze. Several undecorated, white Ibenan plates are also in the collection, and can be recognized by their thin, off-white glaze, as well as the large red inclusions in the fabric.
Many of the plates come fiom Portugal, and the majority of them are made in distinctive "deep" forms. There may be evidence of a matching set of plates, as 12 plates decorated in blue and white with a geometric pattern of alternating thick and thin blue lines interspersed with sections enclosing spirals and "scnbbled" motifs have been found.
At times these plates appear to have been rather sloppily painted, and one plate still has a piece of sagger attached to its underside which had fùsed on during firing (Plate 9). Each
plate has a central motif on the interior surface, but because of the fragmentary nature of
the sherds, they are difficult to distinguish. Some appear to be scenes from nature. while
one is of a large floral pattern. Patterns of alternating blue thick and thin lines appear on
many plates, and sometimes surround sections of cross-hatching motifs or leaf shaped
designs outlined in a darker blue. Other Portuguese plates have been found, many with
imitations of Wan-Li designs copied fiom porcelain around the borders of the plates.
Ming-infiuenced or Baroque designs were also popular, and appear on many plates from
the Ferryland collection. Other plates bear examples of the "aranhoe" (large spider),
"rendas" (lace) and "contas" (beads) designs, as described in Chapter 4. One rare example
has a picture of a winged heart in the centre of the plate with the word "Amors" (meaning
"love" in Portuguese) written across the heart (Plate 10). Plates similar to this were cornmissioned for weddings in Portugal and were used to carry the wedding rings to the altar (Calado pers.comm., 1999). Another plate has a picture of a peacock surrounded by flowers and other foliage (Plate 1 1). This motif originated in India, and the peacock was used a symbol which represented God, and the design appears on altar pieces used in churches (Pais pers.cornm.,1999). Another plate bears the coat of arms of the dos Silva family, originally an aristocratie family in Portugal (Plate 12). The coat of arms is painted in blue on a white background. Many of the complete examples found in museums include a date painted above the central design, but unfortunately the plate from Ferryland is missing that particular section. A large number of these plates were made, but it is impossible to lem which particular member of the farnily comrnissioned it, as the name is now a very common one in Portugal.
Two French plates have been recognized, and cm be identified by their borders.
One has pinkish-orange body and is covered with light turquoise glaze. It is bordered with a linear gold crosshatching pattern near rim (Plate 13), which suggests an origin of
Rouen, France. Similar plates have been found in Louisbourg, Nova Scotia (Blanchette
198 1 :67).The other plate has pale blue glaze on the interior and exterior surfaces and a polychrome floral design in red, green, and blue on the interior. which dates it to the early eighteenth century.
On some of the plates marks fiom the saggers used to separate the vessels during firing can be seen. Originally plates were fired face down, and marks from three-pronged baked clay saggers (called "proen" in the Netherlands) were lefi on the interior surfaces
(Schaefer 1998: 17). By the eighteenth century, different methods of stacking unfired wares in kilns in England did away with the stilt marks on the front of the dishes that happened in the seventeenth century (Fairbanks et al. 1982394). In Portugal. by the eariy seventeenth century, plates were stacked in kilns face up before firing, as marks from the saggers set into the wdls of the kiln can often be seen.
Plates were often hung on walls in the seventeenth century, for decorative purposes, and had holes in footrings to facilitate this. None of the plates in Ferryland has any evidence of these holes, but this may be the result of the fiagmentary nature of the collection. 6.4.1.2 Saucers
Saucers are smaller form of plates, and were intended for use as small plates and
possibly for serving condiments (Beaudry et al 199 1 : 27). None of the saucers recovered
fiom the Fenyland site has any kind of a central depression to hold a cup. as in the more
modern version of the form.
The majority of the 38 saucers are of English origin, and are covered with a plain
white giaze. One other English saucer is bordered with blue dashes, although it is too
fiagmentary to tell what fûrther decoration the vesse1 bears. Two Iberian saucers are also
covered with white glaze, although this glaze is thinner and more of a greyish colour than
the English examples. One of the other Iberian saucers is decorated with a spiral pattern
on the interior base, while another may be an exarnple of Yayal Blue on White. an Iberian
style described by Goggin (1968: 128) (Plate 14). A single saucer is of Dutch origin, and
the central motif of flowers and stems on the interior base shows strong Chinese
influences in the painting style.
6.4.1.3 Bowls
In the seventeenth century, bowls were used for a wide variety of p8qoses,
similar to how they are used today. In records and inventories of the time, bowls were
usually subdivided on the basis of size, rather than function (Archer 1997:282). Bowls
which were used specifically for serving punch have been placed under another heading
(See Section 6.4.2.5). Few had any specific purpose, so it is difficult to differentiate thern based on fùnction. Bowls could be used as drinking cups, and were sometimes used to contain water, used to cool or to rinse wine glasses (Archer 1997:284). Very large or oval
bowls, known as Monteiths, were used specifically for this purpose, and could hold a
nurnber of glasses at the same time, although none has been recovered from the
archaeological record at Fenyland (Archer 1997:284). Bowls were used to present food.
and for decoration (Archer l997:285).
Most of the 107 bowls fiom Ferryland are covered simply with a white glaze, and
are of English ongin. One English example is decorated with a polychrome motif of an
interiocking blue and yellow chain border, which dates it to the mid-seventeenth century.
Unfortunately, the border is the only part of the vessels recovered, and the central motif is
missing. Three bowls were made in Talavera, Spain, and have distinctive blue-green
frond-like decorations on a white background, as well as everted rims (Plate 15). A
similar bowl is on display at the Museu de Arte Antiga in Lisbon, Portugal. Three
Iustreware bowls, also made in Spain, were identified. One small lustreware bowl was
found, and two larger ones. The large bowls have similar foliate decorations, but the bodies of the vessels are of slightly different thicknesses, and do not join. As well. the colour of the lustre glazes of each are different, with one much lighter than the other.
Two bowls which are of Portuguese manufacture. are shallow with flat bottoms and straight sides and were used by sailors while on board ship (Calado 1999, pers.cornm) (Plate 16). They have low, wide footrings which make them very stable, and so would be well suited for use on ocean voyages. One is decorated with a grey, white and manganese scroll motif, while the other bears traces of blue and white glaze (Plate
17). These two bowls are the only example of more ordinary, cornmonplace tin-glazed earthenware found at Ferryland. A series of three small Portuguese bowls has been reconstructed, al1 with geometric motifs of alternating thick and thin blue lines surrounding scribbled patterns on the exterior of the vesse1 (Plate 1 8). Each has a blue scxibbled design on the interior base, which could be an imitation of Chinese symbols.
The bowls are approximately lOcm in diameter, with steep sides and a slightly everted lip. Similar vessels have been fowid at Fort Amsterdam. the Dutch settlement in St.
Maarten, Dutch Antilles (Baart 1WO:89).
Several other bowls are of iberian origin, and have distinctive "escudilla" bases. or a raised area in the centre of the exterior base, which forms a kind of inverted footring.
These vessels are covered with a very thin off-white glaze, and have heavy, chalky bodies. Two other bowls are decorated with grey and manganese glaze in the "rendas" or lace pattem, surrounding a central flower pattem on the interior base in the same colours.
Other bowls are decorated in the manganese purple and blue 'kontas" or bead design, although some examples have been sloppily painted and the glue has run during firing.
Two Iberian bowls are covered with a thick white tin-glaze which has a very distinctive "orange peel" texture (Plate 19). No reference to this type of tin-glaze has been found, although the style of decoration is typically Iberian, and a similar piece was found during excavations at the St. John's waterfront (Pope 1999b). Three other Iberian bowls may possibly be examples of Yayal Blue and White, San Luis Blue on White and Isabela
Polychrome, although the dates of production for these wares may be rather early for the time of occupation of the site (Goggin 1968). There is a possibility that these vessels were specially cared for, and so appear in later contexts than expected. One other large Iberian bowl in the collection is decorated with curving grey-blue lines interspersed with stepped pyrarnid-like designs made fiom horizontal brushstrokes, and has a poorly formed footring and an everted rim. Although it was suggested that this vessel is similar in form to a milk settling pan, it is unlikely that a vessel made in tin-glazed earthenware would be used for this purpose.
Two bowl fiagments, which may actually be part of the same vessel, are of Dutch origin, and show strong Chinese influences in the motifs of insects and a plant which appears to be a lotus (Plates 20 and 2 1). The painting is finely done, and seems to have been closely copied fiom porcelain. Insects were commonly painted on porcelain to cover up flaws in the ceramic, but the example from Ferryland has an unusual number of insects painted on a very small portion of earthenware. As well, there is no evidence of any imperfections in the tin-glaze.
6.4.1.4 Porringers
Porringers are small shallow bowls, with one or two small handles at or near the rim (Archer 1997:280). The single-handled forrn of pomnger is a very ancient one; some early metal samples have been found on Cyprus which from 1400 to 1230 BC (Fairbanks et al. 1982:240). Pomngers were comrnonly made from silver. pewter and earthenware, and many of them produced in tin-glazed earthenware were copied fiom silver vessels
(McNabb pers. cornm., 1999).These are multipurpose vessels, and one could consume a variety of foods fiom them such as stews, puddings, porridges and other foods that could be eaten with a spoon (Fairbanks et al 1982:240). There is some debate as to whether or not pomngers were used as bleeding bowls, as in some inventories they are descnbed as
"blood" pomngers (Archer 1997:280). Some researchers believe that the pomngers with
only one handle were used for that purpose, although contemporary pictures show people
eating fiom pomngers with both one and two handles (Archer 1997:280). Sometimes
pomngers are mentioned specifically in inventories fiom New England, although often they are just lumped under the heading of a "parcel of earthenware" (Fairbanks et al.
l982:NO).
As with the other forms of vessels, the rnajority of porringers are glazed with a white glaze and do not have any Merdecorations. Many of the porringers have very intricate pierced handles, with a variety of scalloped edges and intricate cutouts. Some pomngers have blue designs on white backgrounds, like the Portuguese example with slanted blue lines flanking blue rosette shapes around the interior rim of the pomnger
(Plate 22). Three porringers are made fiom Spanish lustreware, and they also may have been used as wine-tasting dishes or salt dishes (Calado. pers.com. 1999). The porringers are decorated with linear and foliate designs, and one has touches of blue glaze mixed in with the lustre.
6.4.1.5 Lobed dishes
These dishes (sornetimes called "Cracknalls") were first tumed on a potter's wheel and then fomed in a two-part mold (Fairbanks et al 1982:274). Some have continuously undulating rims, but others are made up of even numbers such as eight or 12 broad lobes. They are modeled afier silver forms, and were often accompanied by a ewer filled with scented water, placed at the table for rinsing hands (Fairbanks et al. 1982:274).
They could also be used as serving dishes as is shown in the Jan Steen painting "Twelfth
Night" (Fairbanks et al. 1982274).
Twenty of the twenty-two lobed dishes from Fenyland are covered with a plain white glaze. They are of different sizes and have varying numbers of lobes and since it is next to impossible to measure the rim diameter of fragmentary lobed dishes, it has not been done. One elaborately painted dish which is decorated with a polychrome tulip motif is definitely Dutch, while it is too difficult to distinguish if the plain white vessels are
Dutch or English (Plate 23). Another of the dishes is Portuguese, and is covered on the interior surface with an intricate design of large blue circula flowers and a "venus flytrap" motif, while the lobed rim is bordered with a blue painted stipe (Plate 24). The exterior is painted white, with a blue criss-cross and dot pattern. This is an especially large and piece, and is of very high quality (Calado pers. comm., 1999).
6.4.1.6 Dishes
In the late sixteenth and throughout the seventeenth century large chargers were made, which were used for bringing food to the table or for use as a surface on which to place hot pans (Archer 1997:70). Some of the more elaborately painted ones were probably only used for decorative purposes, or as fmit bowls (Archer 1997:70).
Only two vessels from the Ferryland archaeological record have diameters which are large enough to fit this category. One is a very large Portuguese dish, with a diameter of approximately 50 cm (Plate 25). It is very similar to many large dishes seen in the Museu nacional de Machado de Castro in Coimbra, Portugal. and in the Museu de Arte
Antiga in Lisbon, Portugal which usually have a central motif painted in blue and manganese on the interior surface of the base, surrounded by a border using the sarne colours (Plate 26). The dish fiom Fenyland is decorated with an aranhoe or "big spider" border, which dates it to approximately 1650- 1675 but unfortunately the central motif in the centre of the dish is missing (Calado, pers-comm 1999, Pendery l999:62). Hopefully this situation will be rectified with more excavation. Many of these dishes were displayed on walls as decorations, but as the example from Ferryland does not have any extant holes in order to hang it, this fùnction cannot be determined. In the seventeenth century, large
Portuguese dishes were produced for local consumption, while smaller individually-sized plates were manufactured for export (Monteiro pers. comm., 1999). The presence of this dish in Fenyland is a rare example in North America. The other dish which bears the likeness of a polychrome cherub is of English origin, and is even Iess complete than the previous vesse1 (Plate 27). Originally thought to be a pi11 tile because of the design and the flatness of the sherds, one corner of one of the sherds shows evidence of beginning to fonn an edge, so it must be a dish. The cherub head is painted in shades of blue, with yellow and orange ribbons or streamers leading away from the face. There is no evidence of a footring or rirn, so it cannot be measured.
6.4.1.7 Sillabub pots
Sillabub or posset pots have been described as having two handles and a spout on one side (Archer: 1997:261). They were used to serve a variety of drinks including sillabub, posset and caudle. By 1607 and possibly even earlier sillabub pots appear in inventories and have become comrnon by the 1690s (Archer 1997262). Caudle consisted of ale, spices, bread, sugar and wine- which was boiled, skirnrned and served hot
(Fairbanks et al. 1982:275). Both posset and syllabub had similar ingredients, consisting of eggs, cream, sugar, sometimes nutrneg, and cider, sack or white wine (Fairbanks et al.
1982:275). Sillabub was simply alcohol and milk mixed together to produce a foamy drink (Archer 1997:26 1). It was served cold, and a more elaborate version could be made by mixing sack or other wine into whipped cream. The simpler version would be drunk fiom the posset pot with a spout, while the whipped cream version would be spooned from a cup or glass. Posset could be served as a hot drink or as a food for invalids if it was served as a thick curdled posset for eating with a spoon (Williams 198 1 :S61). In the later seventeenth century more ingredients were added to possets to produce "fancy" possets, which included thickening agents like barley, oatmeal, bread. These possets would have to be eaten with a spoon and were more often served in basins. The use of the posset pot fell out of favour in the eighteenth century as these thicker possets becarne more popular but he pots could still be used to drink the liquor from under the foam of the thicker possets (Archer 1997:26 1). Sillabub pots were produced in silver, pewter. earthenware and afier 1675, glass versions appeared (Poole 1995:32). Pots with curved sides were introduced in the 1650s, but only became popular in the 1680s (Poole
1995:32). The majority of the sillabub pots from Fenyland are plain white, and many parts of scroll handles have been found. One pot is decorated an intricate pale blue design. which is possibly Arabic inspired (McNabb 1999, pers cornm). Although only the lid has been found, it closely matches an exarnple decorated with the "bird on rock" design produced in London in the 1630s (Archer 1997:262) (Plate 28).
6.4.1.8 Salt dishes
Beginning in medieval times, seating arrangements at the dining table were carefully prescribed. The head of the household sat at one end, usually away from the fireplace and the other people were placed on either side of the table in order of social status, with the lowest in rank seated furihest fiom the host. The position of the standing salt dish was very important; everyone who sat "above the salt" was socially superior to those below it (St. George 1982: 169). Salt was an important commodity, and since it was expensive and had such social meaning, it was ofien displayed in elaborate holders or dishes. In the Netherlands during the sixteenth century, salt was kept in specially made silver boxes (Schaefer 1998:64). By middle of the seventeenth century, standing salts made fiom silver became popular, and copies were made in tin-glazed earthenware. To take salt, a diner would reach into the salt dish and pinch salt between his fingers before sprinkling it over his food (Schaefer 1998:64). Later, etiquette changed, and people were encowaged to pick up salt with the end of a knife (Schaefer 1998:64). Both of these processes would require salt dishes which were open at the top, to allow space for fingers or knives. Only one standing salt has been discovered at Ferryland, and it is complete.
Covered with white glaze, and English in origin, it has three knob-shaped feet at its base.
and three more knobs which are similar in shape surrounding a small shallow cavity on
the uppermost surface. The middle section of the salt dish is cylindrical, and the base and
rim diameters are approximately equal. The salt dish was manufactured in England, and
dates fiom the middle decades of the seventeenth century.
6.4.2 Beverage Service vessels
The Beverage Service category is fairly evenly divided arnong cups. mugs and jugs. Cups and mugs are ofien very similar in form, so an additional blended cuphug
category has been added. Vessels were placed in this category when there was any
uncertainty about the form. See Figure 6.6. for results of the analysis. Bottles and
punchbowls appear less fiequently in the collection, but this may be because of problems
in identification. Another possibility is that certain later-dating areas of the site have not
yet been excavated, and since tin-glazed bottles and punchbowls are a later phenornenon,
that would explain their underrepresentation in the archaeological record.
6.4.2.1 Cups
Most of the 18 cups identified are English, and are covered with a white glaze.
Many have handle attachments present, and parts of handles have also been found. One
cup is French, and may bear traces of Provence Yellow on White decoration (Walthall 199 1 90). One other cup may be Itaiian, as evidenced by the polychrome floral motifs outlined in black (Kingery 1993 53).
Although tin-glazed earthenware was a rather unsuitable ware to dnnk hot beverages fiom, some tea cups and tea bowls were produced at the end of the seventeenth and into the eighteenth centuries (Archer 1997:346). There is no evidence of a matched set of teacups and since no handles fiom tea cups have yet been recovered, it is not known if the cups section should be Mersubdivided into teacups and tea bowls. Tin-glazed earthenware tea cups with handles only began to be produced relatively late in the eighteenth century (Archer l997:348). According to Noel Hume tin-glazed cups tended to lose their glaze around the lips of the vessels, and while there is some chipping on the edges of several of the cups, this may have been caused by the burial process. Four teacups of either English or Dutch origin were found in the collection. Al1 are characterized by very thin fluted bodies, ofien with scalloped edges. Most are finely painted in blue, but one has an intricate polychrome pattern of red chevrons, blue dots, green floral motifs and other yellow decorations on a white background (Plate 30). This example is unusual since red is not a colour commonly used on tin-glazed wares, because of the difficulty in firing red glaze iil conjunction with other colours.
6.4.2.2 Mugs
Nineteen mugs have been recovered so far in the excavations at Ferryland. Many of the mugs are also covered with a plain white glaze, but several are covered with a speckled manganese glue on the exterior (Plate 30). At first glance they appear similar to Malling jugs, but are not fiom such an early context, and are of the wrong form. Some white-glazed pierced handle fragments have been found. which could corne frorn a mug or jug with a silver cover, but nothing similar to a lid or cover has been found. Other exarnples of mugs fiom Ferryland includes a bright turquoise vessel which is decorated with sloppily painted flowers on the exterior. It was made in England, and its form suggests a dates of after 1680.
In the eighteenth century the tankard evolved as a new and different form of drinking vessel, one used solely for alcoholic beverages such as beer (Archer 1997:240).
The Ferryland collection has one clear exarnple of a tankard form, very similar to one in the Gardiner Museum of Cerarnic Art in Toronto, Canada. The tankard is covered with a heavy white glaze, and has parallel rows of bosses on the body.
6.4.2.3 Jugs/Pitchers
Jugs are most often identified by their distinctive spouts, but they cmalso be identified by their bulbous shape. Some tin-glazed jugs did not have spouts, and are sirnilar to mugs, only larger (Archer 1997:240). Jugs usually have wide flat strap handles. many fragments of which have been found at Ferryland.
Most of the 25 Ferryland jugs are white, with some sort of blue decoration. One jug is made from Spanish lustreware, although so far only part of the handle has been excavated. Lustreware jugs are very rare, and must have been very expensive (Pais, 1999 pers.comm). 6.4.2.4 Bottles
Most tin-glazed earthenware bottles made in England cm be dated by fom to a date between 1640- 1660, aithough bottles with dates fiom 162 I - 1 7 19 written on their exteriors have also been found elsewhere in archaeological contexts (Archer 1997266).
Many tin-glazed earthenware bottles have forms which derive fiom Gerrnan stoneware
bottles, and bottles used for wine often have grooves at the top of the neck for tying on parchment covers with string (Archer 1997:266). Corks were in wide use by the middle of the seventeenth century, but the grooves continued to appear on the vessels long afierward. Glass bottles superseded tin-glazed versions of bottles in popularity more and more as the seventeenth century continued both for use in serving and storing wine
(Archer 1997:267). English tin-glazed earthenware bottles were also used by apothecaries to store "therapeutic waters" (Fairbanks et al 1982241).
The single tin-glazed bottle fiom the Ferryland collection is covered with a plain white glaze, and was identified by the shape of its base. It is possible that there could be more bottles in the collection which are so fiagmentary as to be unrecognizable, or it may be that glass bottles were simply preferred to hold or store liquids or wine in the Colony of Avalon. Tin-glazed earthenware bottles are not particularily strong, so the choice of glass may have been a practical one (Noel Hume 1969:76).
6.4.2.5 Punchbowls
A category separate fiom the Bowls section has been created specifically for punchbowls because of their particular purpose in serving punch and other alcoholic beverages. The word "panch" is taken fiom the HindiIUrdu word for "five" and refers to
the five traditional ingredients of sugar, brandy, lime juice, hot or coId water (depending
on the season) and spices (Fairbanks et al. 1982:248). Punch was drunk at al1 times of the
day, and by both men and women, although it is most ofien mentioned as being a
masculine activity (Archer 1997:283). Few written English references to it appear in first
half of seventeenth century, but more can be found in the second half (Fairbanks et al.
l982:248). By the end of the century the custom of drinking punch was well established
in tavems and other places of entertainment besides the home. At this time, clubs and societies were popular, and by the late seventeenth century a bowl of punch was an important part in England of oficial functions relating to the local governrnent (Richards
1999: 143). In Williamsburg, during the first half of the eighteenth century, tin-glazed punch bowls were popular, but this changed in the second half, when porcelain replaced tin-giazed earthenware in popularity (Austin 1994:26).
In the seventeenth century, most bowls with a diameter of over 25 cm were used for serving punch (Archer 1997:282). Punch bowls had to be of a particular size to fit al1 the ingredients used in making the drink, although there are many bowls which are much larger than was needed, and may have been used solely for decoration. Many had inscriptions on them such as "Drink Fair, Don't Swear" or "A Dish of Punsh (sic)Give me to Drink for fiom the Same I will not Shrink" (Archer 1997:282). At times punch bowls were cornrnissioned to celebrate political events or to commemorate maniages, births or deaths (Archer l997:283). The punch bowls fiom Ferryland are charactenzed by relatively thin bodies and thin, high, footrings. They al1 date fiom the later seventeenth century. Many of the punchbowls from Ferryland are light blue in colour, and are painted in floral and leaf designs in "Fazackerly" colours of blue, yellow and green, with a layering of pigments and the design outlined in manganese black. Some of these punchbowls that are seen in contemporary prints were decorated so that the decorations can be better seen when the punchbowl is displayed upside down on a shelf, which is probably how the larger ones were stored. Unfortunately any punchbowls with Fazackeriy motifs are too fiagmentary to tell if they were decorated in this manner. One other French punchbowl found at
Ferryland has a thin blue border near the interior rim, and a Chinese-inspired scene on the exterior surface, which dates it to sometime in the eighteenth century.
6.4.3 Kitchen and Dairy vessels
Pots, lids, jars and colanders are relatively few in number, and so this category is a fairly small one. See Figure 6.7 for a summary.
6.4.3.1 Pots
Pots are seen as a smaller forrn of storage container than a jar. They were used to store a variety of ingredients and goods, and also for display or decoration. Of the six pots identified, one is Dutch, and was made very early in the seventeenth century. On the interior base a picture of a hanging basket motif appears, while on the exterior base, there is an imitation of a cross-hatched Chinese symbol (Plate 3 1). Other pots are English or Dutch, and have simple decorations of blue stripes on a white background on the exterior surface, usually near the base.
6.4.3.2 Jars
Jars were mainly used for storage of liquids. Most of the eight Fenyland jars are simply decorated with white glaze and oflen have slight rilling on the interior surfaces.
One jar, determined to be Dutch because of the brilliance of its glaze, is decorated with blue spiky flowers surrounded by dots. Another very interesting jar is also Dutch. and is decorated in blue on a white background. The exterior has been divided into panels, with scenes of flowers and insects. One small English jar has an imitation of a Chinese design on the exterior. A very small jar, thought to be Italian and of a relatively late date of production, had an exterior decoration of different shades of blues and yellows, painted in stripes. The jar must have been fired on edge, as the colours of glazes have smeared and bled into each other during firing (Pais, 1999, pers.comm.).
6.4.3.3 Lids
Lids were used to keep food either warm or cold, or to keep the interior contents clean and fiee from insects. Sometimes in the seventeenth century lids and the vessels they were intended to cover were made in different materials (Schaefer 1998:32).
Three lids have been identified in the assemblage of tin-glazed earthenware, and al1 are glazed on al1 sides. One is flat and disc-shaped with a rounded rim and covered with a plain white glaze. There is no evidence of any handle or knob on the upper surface to aid in holding the lid, but this may be because of the fiagmentaxy nature of the sherds.
The other two lids are rectangular shaped, with stepped domed surfaces decorated with a manganese and blue "aranhoe" design. From the design they may be from boxes. similar to ones seen on display at the Museu de Arte Antiga in Lisbon, Portugal. There is one more lid, but as it is certainly the lid of a posset pot, and would have been used for serving posset, 1 have chosen to classify it under "Food Service" instead (see Section
6.4.1.7).
Altematively, wooden lids could have been used throughout the seventeenth century, and sometimes parchments was tied around the necks of vessets and tied with string, as was done with galley pots (Schaefer 1998:36). However, the ceramic lids had a better chance of being rodent-proof.
6.4.3.4 Colanders
Colanders in the seventeenth century were used for the sarne purposes as they are today, washing and sifiing food Although it may seem strange to make a colander out of tin-glazed earthenware, when more durable materials were available, it did happen. They were more durable than those made from cloth or horsehair strainers that were often used in the Netherlands (Schaefer 1998:38). Earthenware colanders did not warp, stretch or bum during use, and could be used when fire or liquids were involved (Schaefer
1998:38).
Remains of two colanders have been found at Ferryland. These are both undecorated, and covered with a plain white glaze. The holes seemed to have been punched in rows, but the sherds are very small and fiagmentary. The holes punched in the fabric would have weakened it, and would cause it to fragment into little pieces. There is a possibility that these also could be the remains of a Portuguese dish with an interna1 separation or division, used to drain the liquid fiom olives or other foods (Vale pers. comm., 1999).
6.4.4 Hygiene vessels
The hygiene vessel category consists of three forms of vessels, and results of this anaiysis can be seen in Figure 6.8.
6.4.4.1 Galley pots
The concept and forms of apothecary wares first developed in Persia and
Mesopotamia by the twelfth century (Fairbanks et al. 1982:342). By the late fowteenth century Italian potters began to use the form and by 1400 it had appeared in Spain
(Fairbanks et al. 1982:342). As mentioned previously, it is thought that many apothecary pots were made in ltaly and Spain and exported to England in the sixteenth century in ships called "galleys" (OED). The name was applied to the actual cerarnic vessel, and by the second half of the sixteenth century apothecary wares were known as "Galley pots" or
"galliware".
Apothecaries had more names for their wares than we have now, although in this thesis they have been grouped together under the heading "galtey pot" under the POTS classification. Names such as dry drug jars, wet dmg jars and ointment pots have al1 been used by archaeologists and researchers to differentiate the forrns of apothecary wares. Dry
drug jars (which have been found at Ferryland) contained ground remedies pior to being
mixed for use. Originally during the fifteenth century they were shaped more like
albarellos with a slightly pinched in or "waisted" appearance, but by the seventeenth
century were made with straight sides and a wide mouth. By the third quarter of the
eighteenth century galley pots were beginning to be made with vertical rims ta fit metal
lids, although there is no evidence of any of the forms at Fenyland being made with metal
lids (Archer 1997:377). Wet jars were larger and bulbous shaped, and held liquid
remedies. These vessels were intended for display in apothecary shops, so they do not
usually have evidence of wear or tear (Austin l994:28). Wet jars were similar in shape to jugs, with special collars and wide feet, as well as a spout and a Bat strap handle (Archer
1997:377). A third common form was the ointment pot- also comrnonly found at
Ferryland, used to hold a variety of smaller items such as dry eye ointments and cosmetics
(Austin 1994:28). They could also be used to dispense small amounts of sticky or semi-
liquid products sold by apothecaries, grocers or perfumers and were replaced at the
beginning of the nineteenth century by small wooden boxes (Archer l997:38O).
Most galley pots have pinched in rims just below the lip to enable a parchment or
textile cover to be tied on with string (Fairbanks et al. 1982:342). This was a way to keep
substances separate and uncontaminated. Galley pots were bought by apothecaries who
used them to store wet and dry drugs as well as ointments, conserves and other
preparations, but they were also purchased by chemists and druggists (Archer 1997:377). Anyone with a book could make up his or her own potions (Fairbanks et al. 1982:343).
This was especially common in areas which were not serviced by trained physicians, even in Europe. In England, London was the centre of leaming, and during the seventeenth century most of the people who were trained as doctors lived there. Outlying toms and villages had to rely on folk healers and midwives. In many ways, there not much difference between skilled folk healers and trained doctors; ofien they were using the sarne ingredients (St. George 1982: 183). Galley pots were also used for general storage purposes. Cookbooks describe using galley pots for conserving currants. sausage. quinces and mustard, arnong other foods (Archer 1997:379).
The decorations on galley pots evolved over time. Originally in Italy pots were made with a range of floral, arabesque and other designs reflecting the c haracteristics of the Renaissance (Crellin 198 15). In Britain, early designs consisted of polyc home geometric motifs of horizontal lines and dots which were very similzr to those made at the same time in the Netherlands. By the 1640s polychrome decoration fell out of style. and simple blue and white decorations becarne more popular (Fairbanks et al. 1982:342).
The form of the jars also changed, becoming larger in diameter. By the second half of seventeenth century large numbers of plain white wares were being made and exported from London.
The Ferryland archaeological record shows evidence of many galley pots. 73 pots of different sizes have been found, and are mainly in the forms of dry dnig jars or small ointment pots. The majority are English in origin, although there is one small light blue ointment pot which may be French. Although most of the apothecary wares appear to be for dry ingredients, there may be more wet drug jars for synips or electuaries that are currently unrecognizable due to the fiagrnentary nature of the collection. Several spouts have been found which are similar in shape to the wet drug jars. but it not certain that this is what they were used for. The pots found in Ferryland are largely utilitarian. and are not elaborately decorated. Many of the larger drug pots are decorated with stripes and geometric designs, but the vast majority of them are only glazed in colours of blue and white, with only a few showing polychrome glazes of yellow or green. Some of the galley pots are of a very large size, with rim diameters of up to 15 cm (Plate 32). None of the galley pots has the narne of the medicine they contained on them or any type of cartouches, even though supposedly fiom the mid-seventeenth century virtually every drug jar was inscribed with the name of its contents (Archer 1997:378). None of the smaller ointment pots is decorated; instead they are only covered with a plain white glaze. which reflects their utilitarian purpose (Plate 33).
The presence of apothecary pots in Ferryland is mentioned only obliquely in the existing documents relating to the settlement. James Yonge was only 15 or 16 years old when he was sent to be a surgeon in Ferryland in 1663. In his journal he describes bringing with him " a few and common medicines and utensils" as well as a few books he had picked up (Yonge 02/24/1663). He also mentions a "ship's chest" which in the seventeenth cenutry was the location of any medicines and the raw ingredients for remedies. The most cornmon ailments in Ferryland appear to be broken wrists, scurvy, coughs and colds, (Yonge 02/24/1663). Purges and vomitings seem to have been comrnon treatments, and Yonge ofien used local plants to help cure bad cases of scurvy. Yonge did use some concoctions he brought with him frorn Europe. mentioning diascordium, an mixture of approximately 17 different ingredients and üsü~ilystored in apothecary jars (Crellin 1981:8). In the collection of artifacts from the HMS Saphire which sunk off the Bay Bulls harbour, there appear to at least ten apothecary pots, al1 with the sarne blue stripes and purple chain pattern decoration, but the vessels fiom Fenyland do not appear to be part of a matched "set" of apothecary pots, which one might expect if a ship's chest were present in the colony. Perhaps the chest did not stay for a long period in the colony, and people bought the pots individually.
6.4.4.2 Chamber pots
Sirnilar to other forms of vessels, the shape of tin-glazed earthenware charnber pots was copied fiom earlier metal versions (Noel Hume 1970: 145). Seventeenth-century tin-glazed earthenware chamber pots can be distinguished fiom those made in the eighteenth century because the shape of the pots changed over time. Earlier pots are less bulbous, with a low shouider ridge or cordon just below the neck, and a slightly everted foot. Later charnber pots are taller, the cordon is no longer present, and the rim is less everted (Fairbanks et al. 1982:264). By 1700, the wide Ilat rim had been replaced by a flaring lip forming an ogee curve, with the lip folded under (Noel Hume 1970: 146-7).
The colour of glaze on a chamber pot cm also help with dating chamber pots. Those made early have a pinkish cast to the glaze, while those made later have a bluish grey glaze (Fairbanks et al. 1982:264). The Ferryland collection consists of five English chamber pots. None of them has
cordons, indicating they date from the eighteenth century md are mostly glazed in a pale
blue colour. None has any decorations or any dates painted on them. They date to
sometime in the eighteenth century, since they do not have the typicaliy seventeenth-
century squat shape and broad rim (Noel Hume 1970: 146).
As of the summer of 1999, only one privy has been excavated at Ferryland
(Gaulton 1997). Chamber pots made of lead-glazed earthenware have also been
excavated frorn the site, which could explain the paucity of tin-glazed chamber pots in the
archaeological record at Ferryland. Tin-glazed versions of chamber pots are rare, and
usually indicate wealth (See Section 8.4).
6.4.4.3 Shaving basins
Shaving basins, also known as barber's bowls or bleeding bowls, are circular in
shape, with a wide rim which has a depression for a bal1 of soap or for use as a thumb
rest. The bowls also had a cutout area, used to cup the bowl around a person's neck or
chest during use. The customer held the bowl against his body, while the barber mixed
the soap with water to make a lather for shaving (Archer 1997:3 16). Ofien the rims and
interiors were decorated with representations of the tools used by barbers including
scissors, combs, and razors and lancets, which also illustrated their secondary role as
surgeons (Archer 1997:3 17). Disease in the seventeenth century was thought to be caused by an imbalance, caused by too much or too little in the four humors contained in the body- blood, phlegm, black bile, and yellow biie. Balance could be restored to the humors by evacuating one or more hurnors, sometimes by bleeding by '%carification" which involved piercing a vein with a silver-tipped lance (St. George 1 982: 1 82).
Both shaving basins in the assemblage are covered with a plain white glaze, with no decoration on the rim or interior base (Plate 34). Unfortunately neither of the bowls contains the thumb depression section of the vessel arnong the sherds excavated. The vessels are of English origin, and date fiom the last part of the seventeenth century to the first half of the eighteenth century.
6.4.5 Cooking vessels
The Cooking vessel category contains the lowest number of vessels in the
Ferryland collection, consisting solely of temnes, so no figure is necessary to present the data.
6.4.5.1 Terrines
As mentioned before, the only types of cooking vessels made in tin-glazed earthenware were heavy, heat-resistant earthenwaremade in France during the eighteenth century. Ferryland has examples of two vessels made of fuiance brune, with an exterior surface of brown manganese glaze and an interior covered with white tin-glaze. The white glaze on the vessels has run fiom one side to the other, and this forms a streaky band of varying width around the nm of the vessel on the exterior (Walthall 199 1 :93).
Both vessels are in the form of terrines. The fragments of each vessel are very small, but one appears to be an example of Rouen Plain, with no decoration, while the other has a painted border near the rim of the vessel which is similar to Waithall's Style
G, consisting of a band of alternating panels with floral sprays, diamond and dot pattern
motifs (Walthall 1991:98, Fig. 1 1). One sherd appears to have a reinforcing rib on the exterior surface near the rim, as described by Blanchette (1 98 1 :39).
6.4.6 "Other" vessels
The category of "Other" vessels contains al1 other foms of tin-glazed earthenware that either do not fit under other categories, or that have special meaning beyond their form. Figure 6.9 contains the results of the analysis.
6.4.6.1 Puzzle jugs
Puzzle jugs were jugs made with pierced necks so that any attempt to pour the contents would result in spillage (Henrywood 1997:2 17). These humorous vessels were basically the equivalent of a seventeenth-century bar joke; they were likely made for use in public houses or tippling houses, and the secret lay in the series of spouts around the neck of the vessel. By covering al1 but one of the spouts, and at times an extra hole hidden under the handle, the user could suck the liquid out through the remaining spout without spilling a drop (Henrywood 1997:2 17). The liquid is drawn through the hollow handle which works as a siphon, and the pierced areas are then avoided (Austin 1994:75)
Some of the jugs produced had verses or floral decorations painted on the exterior, and were made well into the first half of the nineteenth century (HenryWood 1997:2 17). They were produced in lead-glazed earthenware across Europe beginning in the Middle Ages, and the tin-glazed versions fiom England, France and the Netherlands ofien appear very sirnilar in form and decoration.
The sole puzzle jug found at Fenyland is of Dutch origin and dates to the end of the seventeenth century (Boyazoglu 1983:42). It is covered with a plain white glaze. and has a series of floral designs cut out just below the rim (Plate 35).
6.4.6.2 Tiles
Tiles were first manufactured in the Netherlands during the sixteenth century.
Originally very thick tiles were made for use in paving floors, but as tin-glaze is thin and does not Wear very well, the surface deteriorated quite quickly (Archer I997:45). By the mid-sixteenth century the use of tiles shified, and thinner tiles began to be used to surround fireplaces and to decorate walls in kitchens, dairies and cellars (Archer
1997:45). Tiles became popular in England and across the European continent and enormous numbers of tiles were exported from the Netherlands.
Tiles were rnanufactured by rolling out clay into sheets of the desired thickness, and then cutting out the desired shapes. Some eariy tiies have small holes in diagonally opposite corners which were formed by the placement of the foms used to cut out the clay (Noel Hume 1977:21). The tile-shaped boards were driven through the clay at the corners to prevent any slipping as the workmen cut alongside their edges (Noel Hume
1977:2t). However, these marks do not appear on later Dutch or English decorative tiles. Tiles were also made in England in the seventeenth century, and were heavily influenced by the influx of Dutch potters at the begiming of the century. Tiles were popular because they were brightly coloured and easy to clan (Thomton 198249).
Different designs or motifs were popular throughout the 1 700s. Dutch tile makers made polychrome tiles fiom 1600-1625, and later on in the 1 650s. blue and white tiles became more popular (Montias 1982:3 12). During the same time, tiles became thinner, probably because a better mixture of clays was available. Tile with simpler decorations and fewer colours cuts down on costs, and prices dropped throughout the seventeenth century
(Montias 1982:3 12).
One example of how tiles were used for decoration cornes fiom a report of an
English gentleman, Sir William Brereton. While in Amsterdam in the 1630s, he purchased enough tiles to surround two fireplaces and had hem sent them home with specific instructions as to how they were to be arranged. One set was decorated with soldiers, with half the number facing lefi and the other half facing right: they were to be placed so that the figures faced each other (Thornton 1985: 19).
Al1 four of the tiles recovered from the Ferryland site appear to be of Dutch origin and are of the thinner type used for wall or fireplace decoration. The tiles which still have glaze on them seem to be of the ''figura avulsa" type. with each tile having a separate motif or scene on them. This type of tile manufacture was quite inexpensive, and large quantities could be produced very quickly. It also meant that the person purchasing the tiles only needed to buy as many tiles as were needed to fil1 a particular area, rather than purchasing a larger, more expensive scene which was painted over several tiles. One of the Ferryland tiles has the partial painting of a foot and leg of a person (Plate 36). Another
bears a variation of a typically Dutch corner motif known as the "oxhead" motif or
"ossekoppen" which dates fiom the first half of the seventeenth century.
The relative age of tiles can also be determined by their thickness. During the seventeenth century, thicknesses of tiles ranged from 2 cm to 1.5 cm, while in the eighteenth century the average thickness decreased to between 0.75 and 0.50 cm thick
(Voskuil-Groenwegen 1974:Z). By this reckoning, three of the tiles from Ferryland date from the seventeenth century, while the fourth appears to date to sometime during the eighteenth. Unfortunately. this thinnest tile fragment has no glaze remaining on it, so it is impossible to date it to any narrower range than this. Noel Hume (1 970) also cautions about using tiles to date the contexts of buildings, as once tiles were installed in a house, they likely remained there until the structure was destroyed (1 970:294). In that way, the date the tiles were manufactured could be much earlier than the date that the house ceased to be occupied. On the other hand, sometirnes newer tiles were installed in older houses, so the date of tile manufacture cannot be used to unequivocally date the construction of a structure (Noel Hume 19ïO:294).
6.4.6.3 Figurine
This Portuguese vesse1 is unfortunately still a mystery and has yet to be conclusively identified. Oniy fragments have been recovered so far, and consist of a moulded woman's face on a hollow piece of tin-glazed earthenware, witb the features painted in manganese on a white background (Plate 37). Other curved pieces have blue, yellow and orange decoration, with some also outlined in manganese. The figurine appears to have been made using a plaster mold which had been used several times previously, as the edges of the figurine are losing definition (Pais pers. cornm., 1999).
Both the interior and exterior of the vessel are glazed. so the vessel must have been used to hold something, and could have had more openings than just the hole on the top of the head (Plate 38). The face has extra clay built up on top of her head, which could possibly have been an attachent for a handle. The hollow interior of the head has an extra lump of glazed clay partially obscuring the diameter of the hole, which also begs explanation.
The figurine has been variously described as possibly being a bottle, with the handle attachment on top of the head; a candle holder, with possibly a silver mount placed on the top of the figure's head; a small jar for olive oil; the spout of a teapot, with the extra glazed clay inside to lessen the flow of liquid; an anthropomorphic bottle with a clay glazed stopper, similar to those on display at the Museu de Arte Antiga in Lisbon,
Portugal; or possibly a whistle or religious figurine. 1 have been unsuccessful in finding a similar form in any documentary source, but possibly with more excavation more pieces will be found, which will give a better understanding of the shape of this unknown vessel.
The date of manufacture is sometime after 1650, because of the use of the manganese in the decoration (Calado pers. comm., 1999).
6.4.6.4 Tray
Fragments of a small Portuguese tray which held small glass bottles of water and wine used in Catholic church services have been found (Calado pers. cornm., 1999) (Plate 39). The tray was originally ova1 in shape and has srnaIl prongs around the wide flat rim.
Similar trays have been seen in museum collections from the Nacional Museu de
Machado de Castro in Coimbra, Portugal and the Museu de Arte Antiga in Lisbon.
Portugal (Plate 40). Since the tray is decorated with the "aranhoe" or "big spider" style of decoration, it can be dated to approximately 1650- 1675 (Calado pers. comm.. 1 999;
Pendery 1999:62). Chapter 7
Trade and Ferryland
7.1 The economy of Ferryland
The economy of Ferryland was based on the cod trade, which was part of a larger intercomected system of exchange encompassing major European ports. Since English trade with other European countries determined the presence of goods shipped to
Fenyland, it is important to consider which countries were major trade partners or political allies with England during the seventeenth century. Dutch, French. Spanish,
Portuguese, and later New England markets al1 played a role in what types of supplies and material culture were brought to Ferryland. Through looking at the country of ongin of the tin-glazed earthenware and the relative amounts found in the Ferryland archaeological record, it may be possible to identiQ some of the main partners in trade to Ferryland.
The rich fishing grounds off the Coast of Newfoundland and the high demand for well-cured fish in Europe made Ferx-yland an important partner in a seasonal trade involving several international ports bordering the Atlantic Ocean. Specialized freighting vessels known as sack ships were sent to Newfoundland for cod, and a system whereby a variety of goods including wine moved to Europe and back in a triangular pattern developed over the seventeenth century. Various wars and alliances affected the flow of trade at times, but essentially involved ports in the West Country of England, London, the
Mediterranean, and the Atlantic Islands, as well as Newfoundland and New England.
Cod was in high demand in Europe during the early modem period.
Newfoundland cod was originally shipped to England, and was then re-exported to markets in southem Europe. Surviving port books show that the major English ports involved were al1 located in the West Country, and the fish was sent to France, Italy and the Channel Islands (Pope 1999a: 1).
By the middle of the seventeenth century the English developed a more efficient method of shipping cod to European markets, one that did not involve the re-exportation of Newfoundland fish fiom England. The people of the Iberian peninsula desired the fish from Newfoundland, and there was a high demand in England for the strong sweet wines produced in Spain and Portugal. Fish caught in Newfoundland was sent directly to southern Europe ports in the Mediterranean and Iberia, the Portuguese and Spanish shipped wine and miit to English and Dutch ports, and the English sent labour and supplies to Newfoundland. The flow of goods moved in a triangular pattern although the trade was not equal on al1 sides. Large amounts of cod were shipped to Europe, but the amount of supplies and goods retuming to Newfoundland was relatively small in comparison (Pope 1994:265). By shipping cod to European countries, England was able to make up the imbalance in trade caused by their greater importation of the Iberian and
French wines. England profited the rnost from this system, because they gained the value from the fish sold, whether it was in the fonn of money, or in the value of the imports from Iberia. Some cod was still re-exported from English ports throughout the seventeenth century, but it was on a much smaller scale.
Other segments of the economy of Ferryland are oflen overshadowed because of the overwhelming importance of the cod trade. Lurnbering, boat building and small-scale agricultural pursuits also had their importance in daily life (Pope 199 1 :70).Some fanning was done, but was not nearly so important as fish, the main source of protein which could easily be taken from the sea. Economically, there was no advantage in developing a large-scale commercial agricultural system (Pope 1986:40). There are records of Newfoundland residents planting gardens, keeping pigs and cattle, and planting oats, barley, peas, beans and vegetables (Pope 199 1 :76). In the winters, some trapping was done, although it did not make up a particularly large or important part of the economy. New sources of provisions became more important after the depression in the
West Country fish trade in the second half of the seventeenth century, and included
IreIand and iater New England, which supplied traditional staple foods such as bread. peas, flour and salt meat (Pope 1989a:74-75).
7.2 Trade partners with Ferryland over time
The occupation of the Ferryland site can be divided into seven major time periods which correspond to specific events in the histo~of the settlement. Since England had a variety of trade partners throughout the seventeenth century, this should be reflected in the tin-glazed earthenware recovered from Ferryland. Only a small portion of the earthenware could be dated narrowly enoiigh to fa11 into one of the seven tirne periods.
The dates of production of the form, dates of trends in decoration, and the dates attributed to archaeological events were al1 used to assign the particular vesse1 to a specific time period. The results can be seen in Figures 7.1.
Newfoundland was in effect a "free port" in the seventeenth century, with no customs and excise collected, except for the 5% tax David Kirke was able to collect on fish shipped by foreigners. As a result, it is dificult to trace what goods were being
traded. The following sections describe each of the major time periods in the history of
Fenyland, and outline the political situation of England. As the century progressed,
different European countries became more important as trade partners with England
depending on wars and alliances which affected what was shipped to Fenyland. It is
important to remember that during the seventeenth century trade was still carried on
between countries which were at war with each other. The movements of the ships
canying goods may have been more circumscribed because of the increased danger but
instances of trade occurred. It was not until the Napoleonic wars that economic
embargoes were instituted when countries were warring with each other so there was
continued supply to English colonies even in times of war.
7.2.1. Migratory fishery period (1500-1620)
The migratory fishery in Newfoundland was at its peak fiom the beginning of the sixteenth century to the first twenty years of the seventeenth century. Fishers came to
Fenyland on a seasonal basis, but did not remain over the winter months. As of yet, there has been no tin-glazed earthenware recovered at Ferryland which dates from this period.
Severai sherds of the tin-glaze found have a range of production which might place it into this interval, but it is unlikely to have been brought by seasonal fishers and appears only in later contexts.
In the begiming of the seventeenth century England and France had close trade links, since France was the main supplier of wines to England. Over time a trade imbalance developed, with England importing more goods fiom France than they were exporting. England was unhappy with the state of this trade. especially as France developed their own fisheries in Newfoundland in the early 1500s. During the sarne time
England was at war with Spain. This had helped the Newfoundland fishery to expand by boosting prices of cod at home and abroad, and by damaging Spanish and Portuguese cornpetition (Cell 1969:33). Some trade in wine was still carried out between Spain and
England during this war, although the totals for imported Spanish wine are much lower because of the increased dangers and difficulties of trade during a time of war. After 1604 and with the cessation of hostilities towards Spain. increases can be seen in the arnounts of Spanish wine imported into London (Stephens 1992: 149). As Ferryland moved into the second phase of occupation, which was also the first permanent one, England showed signs of lessening its ties with France, and strengthening new ones with Spain and the lbenan peninsula.
7.2.2. Calvert occupation (1621-1629)
The second period of occupation dates to the arriva1 of the first settlers to
Ferryland. as well as the later appearance of the Calvert farnily. Although the family only lived in Ferryland for a year, some evidence of their occupation can be seen in the amounts of tin-glazed earthenware found. During this time period, trade relations between
England and France were rapidly deteriorating. England began an unofficial commercial war with France in 1626, starting with the prohibition of the importation of French wines.
The French retaliated by confiscating English goods in France, and in return the English forbade any trade with France (Cell 1969: 106). The following year, in 1627, outright war
broke out, which had a disastrous effect on trade. After about 1625 Spain and Portugal took the lead as major markets, and Newfoundland fish went to Madeira, the Canaries. the Azores and the Netherlands (Pope 1999a:Z). The tin-glazed earthenware found in
Ferryland at this time reflects this new importance of the Iberian peninsula as a source of trade, as shown in Figure 7.2. The vast rnajority of the earthenware is from Portugal and includes many decorated plates.
7.2.3. Fisher folk (1630-1637)
The third period dates from 1630-1637, and was the interval of time after the departure of the Calvert family and before the arriva1 of the Kirkes. It was a period of increased trade in fish between England and the Iberian peninsula because of a major shipping boom, although it did not correspond to an increase in the population of planters in Newfoundland (Pope 1999a2). England had ceased hostilities with Spain, and the closer trade links which had begun in the 1620s were further developed. Wine was the most important of the exports from Spain and Portugal, although the shipment of raisins and oil were significant. The harvest seasons of these goods coincided with the time of year when cod was arriving in the Iberian ports fiom Newfoundland, so it made economic sense for the English ships to continue on their journey carrying Spanish wines to
England (Pope 1999a p. 3). The peak in the Spanish wine trade appears to have been in the 1630s; later seventeenth- and eighteenth-century records show lower totals (Stephens
1992: 161). The amounts of datable tin-glazed earthenware are low for this period, which could have partially resulted fiom the difficulty in assigning a date to these vessels. and are listed in Figure 7.3, It is more likeiy that it illustrates the low levels of tin-glaze arriving in the colony during this time. In the 1630s Ferryland was run by Calvert's agent. who probably could not afford to have large amounts of tin-glazed earthenware sent to him. The tin-glaze fiom this period is mostly English in origin, and consists mainly of plates decorated with pictures of birds and flowers, cornmon motifs of the time. One vessel is a galley pot, which is one of the first examples of a more utilitarian rather than decorative tin-glazed vessel at the site.
7.2.4. Planter fishery expansion (1638-1660)
The years between 163 8 and 1660 make up the fourth period, which began with the arriva1 of David Kirke and his family. At the sarne time there was a marked increase in the population of Fenyland. It was also a penod when the migratory fishery declined and more planters moved to Newfoundland. Individual catches were lower as more people became involved in the fishery. After the 1630s the price of fish began to rise, leveling off in approximately 1645. Originally merchants involved in the west-country fishery at Newfoundland exported Newfoundland fish in Dutch ships, and prior to the
1630s it was much more common to see Dutch sack ships in Newfoundland than English ones (Pope 1999a: 4). Dutch ships were more cheaply built than their English counterparts, and incurred lower costs on voyages. Kirke and his colleagues attempted to win a monopoly on shipping Newfoundland cod in the 1630s, but were unsuccessful. This was the first tirne the English attempted to exclude the Dutch from the profits of the
carrying trade. The end result was that the focus of vade became dispersed arnong several
English port comrnunities. which was not what Kirke had intended. Although the Dutch
may have profited fkom the low costs incurred by shipping the cod caught in
Newfoundland themselves, this economic advantage only lasted until 1638 when David
Kirke applied a 5% tax on fish taken from Newfoundland in foreign bottoms (Pope
1999a:5). Kirke collected rents. traded in liquor himself and collected licensing fees from
taverns. There are several cornplaints recorded from people who thought he was
cornipting the fishers and encouraging them to behave in a disorderly manner (Pope
l989a:85).
In 1651 the English instituted the Navigation Act to try to limit the amount of
trade Dutch mariners could cany on (Harper l964:38). The Act required foreign goods
imported into England or any English colonies to be only be canied in English ships.
During the Interregnum, the govemment exempted Newfoundland fish from this
prohibition (Pope 1991: 145). The Dutch continued to trade in Newfoundland cod and it
took three Anglo-Dutch wars before the Dutch traders finally lefi the Anglo-
Newfoundland cod trade in about 1665.
In 1640, when Portugal regained its independence from Spain, the Portuguese
royal family realised they needed international treaties both to stabilize their precarious
situation and for political and military reasons. The royal house of John IV of Portugal
turned to England for assistance. England at that time was allied with Spain, was under no threat fiom the Portuguese, and was in a good economic and political position relative to the rest of Europe. Therefore, they were abIe to dictate tetms of the treaty to benefit
themseives directly. Portugal got a short-tenn solution to its rni1ita.r-y problerns, but in the
longer term conceded significant economic advantages to England (Baurngartner et al
1975: 136). The first treaty signed in 1642 set the pattern for later treaties and a vicious
circle began, with a weakened Portugal seeking more support from England whenever
they felt threatened. Further treaties were signed in 1654 and 166 1 that allowed England
to restrict the Portuguese duties on English imports? while still taxing Portuguese imports
heavily. The English achieved peace with Spain in 1648, which allowed the flagging sack
trade to revive once again.
A large arnount of tin-glazed earthenware which dates to this time has been found
in Ferryland' and is shown in Figure 7.4. Although the span of this period is twenty years,
as compared to only approximately a decade for the others, there is still a noticeable
increase in the numbers of vessels arriving in the colony as cornpared to other time
periods. The tin-glazed ceramics reflect the variety of English trade partners and are
almost evenly split between earthenware manufactured in England or the Netherlands,
and those made in the Iberian peninsula. The presence of the large amounts of Portuguese
tin-glazed earthenware illustrates the informal trade networks people in Ferryland had
with the Iberian peninsula. The appearance of tin-glazed earthenware appears to be more
dependent on the presence of a wealthy patron at Ferryland, rather than English trade
policy. The Kirkes were wealthy planters and could afford to purchase tin-glazed earthenware, so the Iarger amounts are explicable. There is a wide range of vesse1 shapes present fiom this tirne, fiom the more utilitarian galley pots to elaborately decorated
display pieces such as the large lobed dishes.
7.2.5. Economically stable period for planters (1660-1673)
The years between 1660 and 1673 make up the fifth period of settlement, a time
of economicalty stable planter Me. 1660 was also the year of the Restoration, and with
the end of many long-lasting wars, international trade involving England began to regain
its former levels. Settlement at Ferryland grew during this time period, with an influx of
new settlers frorn England (Pope 1992). When the wars ended, people expected the
fishery would immediately recover but diere were problems because of a shortage of
ships since many had been destroyed in the wars. As well, with an influx of planters
exploiting the fishery, the 1660s were a tense time for the migratory fishers since because
of the increased competition for the same number of fish. During this time period. the
English signed another treaty guaranteeing support to the Portuguese in 166 1. This was
known as the Mamage Treaty, as it coincided with the mariage of Charles II and
Catherine of Braganza. England and the Netherlands began fighting the third Dutch war
in 1672, which resulted in the Dutch raid on Ferryland in 1673.
Tin-glazed earthenware appears in decreased amounts at Ferryland during this time period, and there is not such a variety in the countries of origin. As before, the totals are fairly evenly split between English and Iberian cerarnics. See Figure 7.5 for the results. 7.2.6. Period from Dutch raid to French attack (1674-1696)
The sixth period, fiom 1674 to 1696 dates fiom the time of the Dutch raid on the
colony up to the French attack and destruction of the settlement. Afier the Dutch attack,
the settlement was rebuilt and the fishery continued. However, in the 1680s there was an
economic crisis in Spain which may have had to do with the collapse of the Spanish
monetary system in the eariy years of the decade. The effects of this collapse would have
been felt in Ferryland because of the importance of the Spmish market for Newfoundland
fish (Pope 1995: 19-20).
The mid- 1680s was a time of low economic growth in Newfoundland, although
the exact reason is difficult to pinpoint. In the 1670s some English fishing merchants
made a concerted effort to try and stop permanent settlement in Newfoundland- because
they feared the deveiopment of cornpetitors. By the 1680s these attempts had failed, and
England and France were at war over the replacement of the French-supported Stuart line
with the Dutch Protestant William III during the Glorious Revolution of 1688 (Pope
1991:34). The sixth period of Fenyland's history ended with the devastating attack by
the French in 1696 which was carried out as part of a larger campaign begun in 1689
against the northern Anglo-Arnerican colonies.
Tin-glazed earthenware in this penod at Fenyland shows an increase in vessels which might be identified as Dutch, and also marks the first appearance of French tin- glazed earthenware. The majority of the vessels corne from England, while only a very small nurnber can be identified as Portuguese. 7.2.7. Re-occupation period after French attack (1696+)
The final penod begins after the destruction and brief de-population of Ferryland. in 1696. Settlers who had been displaced by the French attack retwned, although they settled in a slightly different location in Fenyland than the original site. The economy of
Ferryland shifted to include the New England markets,who became major trade partners.
Fie-six vessels can be identified as dating from after the French raid but as it includes tin-glazed earthenware produced well into the eighteenth century, it is difficult to make cornparisons with the other time periods.
7.3 Records of trade in Ferryland
By examining the "Replies to Heads of Inquiries" for the 1660s and 1670s, inferences can be made about the major English markets for Newfoundland cod (Pope
1999~).The docurnentary evidence fiom 1675 helps to illustrate the strong links to the
Iberian peninsula as shown in Table 7.1. The results also show the increasing importance of American markets as an outlet for Newfoundland cod.
Table 7.1 Destinations of ships leaving Ferryland for Foreign ports in 1675
Port destination Number of ships Percentage of total English 2 13% French 5 33% Portuguese 3 20% Spanish 4 27% American 1 7%
(afier Pope 1999c) In 1677 only three ships were recorded in Ferryland harbour, and al1 were headed for the
Iberian Peninsula. Table 7.2 shows the destinations of these ships.
Table 7.2 Destinations of ships leaving Ferryland in 1677.
Port destination 1 Number of ships 1 Perceotage of total 1 Portugal 1 33% S~ain 2 66% L 1' 1 Total = 3 1 Total = 99% due to rounding (after Pope 1999c)
In 1684 the totals were more evenly divided among several countries, although there is
still an indication of favouring Iberian ports and colonies. if Brazil is included as a colony
of Portugal. See Table 7.3 for the results.
Table 7.3 Destinations of ships leaving Ferryland harbour in 1684
Port destination 1 Number of ships 1 Percentage of total 1
England 11 1 20% 1 Brazil 11 1 20% 1 Unknown 2 40% Total = 5 100% - -- (after Pope 1999c)
It also appears that the Avalon Peninsula as a whole, which includes St. John's
had a strong comection to the Portugal. In 1675 nearly one-third of ships from St. John's
were heading to Portuguese ports, almost al1 ships fiom the Avalon were headed for Portugal. In 1677 the totals were lower with almost a quarter of ships from St. !dm's
sailing to Portugal, and almost al1 of the ships fiom the Avalon were bound for Portugal
or Portuguese colonies, such as Brazil. In 1 684 half of al1 ships leaving St. John's were
destined for Portugal, and 100% of ships with recorded destinations went from the
Avalon Peninsula to Portugal or Portuguese colonies (Pope 1999~).
7.4 Presence of tin-glazed earthenware in arcbaeological sites across Newfoundland
Tin-glazed earthenware has appeared at various sites across Newfoundland,
although not in as large quantities as in Ferryland. English tin-glazed earthenware appears
in many other archaeological sites, including Renews, Cupids, the HMS Saphire
shipwreck in Bay Bulls, and the St. John's watefiont (Steve Mills pers. comm. 2000;
Pope 1999b). Dutch tin-glazed earthenware is also found around the St. John's harbour.
and possibly in more sites as problems with identification may prevent Dutch tin-glue
from being recognized. Italian majolica makes up a very small minority of vessels at
Fenyland, and is rare across Newfoundland. Sixteenth-century Italian majolica has been
found at the Basque whaling settlement at Red Bay, Labrador (Tuck. pers. comm. 2000).
French tin-glazed vessels appear in Newfoundland mainly along the north-western margin
of the province, where the French Shore fishery was located. As yet, little research has
been carried out in the area, but tin-glazed earthenware has been recovered at Fleur-de-
Lys on Newfoundland's French shore. Spanish and Iberian tin-glaze has been recovered fiom the St. John's Waterfiont and Renews(Pope 1999b, Mills, pers. comm., 2000).
Portuguese tin-glazed has been found in Cupids, Renews, on Bouys Island off Fenyland. Red Bay, and the St. John's waterfront (Gilbert, pers. comm., 2000, Mills, pers. comm.
2000, Pope 1999b).
7.5. Discussion
Much can be learned about English trade partners from the tin-glazed earthenware
appearing in the Ferryland archaeological record. While there is a large amount of
evidence describing fish being shipped from Newfoundland, it is harder to trace the
shipment of tin-glazed earthenware frorn Europe to Ferryiand. Unfortunately there are no
records which list earthenware as part of the lading of the ships. Since they were being
shipped in such small quantities, the earthenware would probably not have been listed. It
is aiso important to remember that simple presence or absences of wares produced in
countries other than England does not necessarily imply instances of direct trade. The
appearance of English and Dutch goods is easily explained because of Ferryland being an
English colony. Dutch ships traded directly to Newfoundland until 1665, which would
explain the presence of Dutch tin-glazed earthenware. Dutch tin-glaze was also
comparatively abundant and popular in England during the sixteenth century, but was
superseded by English vessels by the seventeenth century, at least in Southampton (Platt et al. 197528).
The appearance of the tin-glazed earthenware does not necessarily mean that people were shipping over crateloads of expensive ceramics to Ferryland. People might have brought the ceramics as part of their ordinary luggage, and so it would not have shown up on shipping records. Perhaps sailors brought some ceramics themselves as private cargo or as portage, and either traded it on the side or gave it as gifts (Pope 1995).
The appearance of two bowls of a form used specifically by sailors strengthens this argument. Tin-glazed earthenware may have been given by the masters of boats to ensure good trade relations with the planters, or to ensure that the planters would sel1 them their catches of fish. That might explain the large amount of Iiigh quality decorative pieces.
The most likely explanation, however, is that the ships coming fiom Portugal had some tin-glâze packed in their holds, and it was simply not al1 unpacked when the ships sailed into English ports. It is unlikely that people would unload al1 the goods, pay to store them in a warehouse for a period of time as well as paying duty, and then go to al1 the trouble of loading them back on board. It is possible that the tin glaze was lefi in the holds of ships until they arrived in Ferryland.
Ln order to understand how important tin-glazed earthenware was to the people of
Ferryland, comparisons must be made to other types of ceramic present. No complete count of al1 ceramics for the entire site has been made, but some totals for specific areas are available. The overall impression is that proportionally, there is a large amount of tin- glazed earthenware in Fenyland as compared to other ceramics. Excavations are not complete in Area F, but preliminary results indicate a high percentage of tin-glazed earthenwares, probabIy more than in other areas of the site. Table 7.4 Tin-glazed Earthenware fiequencies from selected Areas of Fenyland

In comparison, a combination of undefined household sites in Exeter. England.
dating from 1640- 1670 yields a count of 329 vessels, with tin-glazed earthenware making
up 12% of the total nurnber of ceramic vessels present (Nixon, 1999: 138). The
proportions of tin-glazed earthenware fiom Ferryland are very similar to the Exeter sites'
where the people had much easier access to sources of tin-glazed earthenware. The house
excavated by Steve Mills at Renews is another domestic site in Newfoundland, but there
the tin-glazed earthenware makes up only 4Y0 of the 50 cerarnic vessels found (Mills, pers
comm., 2000). Ferryland appears to be distinctive in that it is similar to English sites in its
proportions of tin-glazed earthenware, rather than other local Newfoundland sites. There
is also a large percentage of exotic, or non-English tin-glazed earthenware in Fenyland as
compared to other seventeenth-century sites in Newfoundland. Of the Ferryland tin-
glazed cerarnics, 39% corne from countries other than England or the Netherlands. In
Renews, only 2% of the tin-glazed earthenware vessels were non-English, (Mills,
pers.comm., 2000). 7.6 Conclusion
The majority of the tin-glazed earthenware fiom Ferryland dates from the Kirke occupation of 1638- 1660. During this tirne period, the tin-glazed ceramics at FerryIand corne fiom a wider range of countries than any time previously. The appearance of these exotic ceramics has more to do with the presence in Ferryland of a wealthy planter patron than with English trade policies during the same time period. The mechanism by which these foreign tin-glazed earthenware arrived in Ferryland has yet to be hlly explained, but it seems unlikely they were shipped by English suppliers. The presence of large arnounts of Portuguese and Spanish tin-gtazed earthenware illustrates the intimate connections with Iberia in the seventeenth century. The appearance of exotic tin-glazed earthenware in the archaeological record of Ferryland can be explained through supply rrechanisms such as portage, gifts, or small orders. Trade was based on persona1 connections, which affected what was brought to Ferryland. Cbapter 8
Social Hierarchies at Ferryland: Status and Consumption
8.1 Introduction
The focus of this chapter is the social structure of Ferryland, and the different classes of people present at the settlement. The possibility of a correlation of ceramics and status is discussed, as well as the role that choice played in the tin-glazed earthenwares excavated at Ferryland. The spatial location of the tin-glazed artifacts is outlined, and inferences are made about the relative wealth in different areas where there is sufficient data.
8.2 Social organization at Feriyland
Fenyland in the seventeenth century was referred to as a fishing plantation, which referred both to a colony, and also specifically to the waterfront premises from which the fishery was conducted (Pope 1991 :198). The people at Ferryland were part of a social organization which essentially reflected the seventeenth-century English society that they had lefi behind. Differences in class and status were centred on economics, and because of the dominance and importance of the fishery, the main economic differences were based on the ownership of boats. Planters and servants made up the two main social categories, with planters (who also owned the boats) having a higher status than the servants who did not (Pope 199 1 :264). Planters were heads of their household production units, were year-round residents and could afford to hire others to work for them (Pope
1991 :264). Even among the planters themselves, there is some evidence of social III
stratification. Those who owned larger-scale plantations functioned as a kind of "planter
gentry" and ranked higher than those who operated smaller concems. Servants were
usually young male fishermen fiom England who were contracted to work for specific
planters (Pope 1991 :265). Newfoundland servants were fairly mobile and ofien eiected to
return to England after their term of service was up (Pope 199 1 238-239). Plantations in
Ne~$oundlandwere generally large, employing an average of 9- 10 servants per
plantation, as cornpared to household averages of at most four servants in England amongst yeomen and others of comparable class (Pope 199 1 :268-269). On average,
Newfoundland planters had a net worth of approximately 3 150. which made them approximately similar in wealth to yeomen in England (Pope 1991 :268). Wages for servants were also potentially higher in Newfoundland than in England in the later seventeenth century. Newfoundland servants could earn 320 in a seven month season working for fishing crews, as compared to under 3 10 per annurn in England (Pope
1989a:88).Tin-glazed earthenware should not be used on its own to detennine status of the people of a particular household or area of the site. Other evidence, such as house size, or the presence of other expensive artifacts such as wine bottles with seals or silver mounts on jugs must also be exarnined to give an overall picture of the relative wealth of the inhabitants, and only then can status be considered. The house at Area D is a good example of this, since even though it has a relatively low amount of tin-glazed earthenware, there are other matenal signifiers which indicate a different situation
(Crompton, pers corn., 2000). Ferryland was characterized by a high percentage of large-scale plantations, which made it different fiom other regions of Newfoundland. Even though St. John's had a greater nurnber of inhabitants. the area surrounding Ferryland contained more large harbours (Pope 1991 :53). By the late seventeenth century. the planters in Ferryland employed on average more servants and owned greater numbers of boats than most of the other planters along the Avalon Peninsula (Pope 1991 :50). Some planters were less successful, and owned small-scale plantations which only employed one or two boats and about five servants. At times small-scale planters laboured alongside their servants out of financial necessity.
Throughout the seventeenth century, there was a distinct gender imbaiance in
Ferryland (Pope l986:W). Women had important roles in the day-to-day life of the settlement, tending the gardens, caring for the animals when the men were involved in the fishing season, and generally carrying out the same responsibilities as a servant (Pope
1991 307). Their labour was important in the fishery. and they may have been involved in the processing of fish as needed. Women in Newfoundland could atso own large amounts of propetty themselves, as is evidenced by some of the biggest plantations in the area being owned and operated by women (Pope 199 1 :300). However, most women in these positions were widows, and although quick remarriages were very common in
Newfoundland in the seventeenth century, widûwhood could have been seen as a means of keeping economic independence (Pope 199 1 :3 1 1 ).
The Kirke family was an example of a major planter farnily, owning one of the largest plantations, and employing 8 1 men fishing from 17 boats in 1675 (Pope 1991 :48). The Kirkes were an exceptional family, both because of their ownership of the colony, and their own private commercial networks. David Kirke collected rents and licensing fees, and was also able to monopolise the import of alcohol into the colony (Pope
199 1 : 1 74- 1 75). Lady Sara Kirke operated the family plantation when her husband retumed to England, and was considered to be one of the wealthiest planters involved in the English fishery (Pope 199:3 1 1-3 1 2). The Kirkes are an example of the "planter gentry" who could easily afford material signifiers of success. It is not surprising that the majonty of dateable tin-glazed earthenware cornes frorn the time of their occupation of
Ferryland and is found where their house is believed to have been.
8.3 Ceramics and Status
Commonly, the presence or absence of ceramics at an archaeological site has been used to determine the status of the people who lived there. it is assumed that only people with more money, and therefore higher status could afford to purchase expensive ceramics and thus evidence of costly wares in an assemblage would indicate the higher social rank of the person who had purchased the vessels. By calculating the amounts of an expensive ceramic, such as tin-glazed earthenware, and comparing the numbers in different areas, a relative idea of the money people had available to purchase these wares cmbe gained for particular areas.
One of the problems with this reasoning is that it presupposes al1 people in the seventeenth century desired expensive ceramics. Wood or leather vessels were often used by poorer people in place of ceramics and these types of vessels do not often show up in the archaeological record (Martin 199 1 : 16 1). The purchase of pewter or silver might have been a better investment for people who could afford it because these vessels were longer-lasting and could be reshaped or recast as needed if they became dented with use
(Martin 199 1 :179). Vessels made from these materials do not often show up in the archaeological record either, because of their resale value. Possession of tin-glazed earthenware in Ferryland was not limited to a specific class of people, so it is difficult to measure status solely by examining cerarnics. Cornparisons of other expensive goods should also be made in conjunction with the cerarnics in order to gain a more accurate view of wealth in the settlement. On the other hand, the poorest people could not afford any type of expensive goods, so the presence of tin-glazed earthenware does at least indicate some kind of discretionary income (Pope 1986: 198).
Tin-glazed eaxthenware is present in al1 excavated areas of the site, which indicates that inhabitants fiom a variety of economic classes must have had access to it.
Peter Pope has also suggested that decorated tin-glazed earthenware vessels cost twice as much as plain white vessels during the seventeenth century, so people with a lower income could probably only afford to purchase forms of tin-glaze which had less decoration, such as the bowls or plates (Pope 1986: 195). Only the wealthier inhabitants of
Fenyland could have afforded the elaborately painted bowls and chargers which were intended for purely decorative purposes. Very large forms of vessels were extremely expensive, costing approximately eight times the amount of smaller versions (Pope pers.comm, 2000). Large ceramic vessels can only be made by experts, must be specially fired and pose transportation problems because of their great size. The difficulty of
shipping may explain the lack of the larger pieces at Ferryland.
An additional way to determine status would be to study the occurrence of vessels
with a specific use, such as chamber pots. Although people may have been using other
receptacles to dispose of human waste, if at all, few people had specific vessels for this
purpose. According to Deetz (1996), ceramic charnber pots are scarce on seventeenth-
century sites, but Fenyland has evidence of five tin-glazed examples, and several more
made fi-om WesterwaId or coarse earthenwares. Noel Hume (1 979%) has determined
that when charnber pots are found in the archaeological record, they are evidence of large
and wealthy households. Seventeenth-century Virginia probate inventories. which also
take into account metal forms of chamber pots, reflect this tendency to see evidence of
chamber pots in the remains of larger, wealthier houses. In Ferryland, chamber pots
mainly appear in Areas F and C, believed to be the location of wealthier planter homes.
People in Ferryland appear to have been deliberately choosing to purchase these non-
essential vessels, while there is a lack of them at other seventeenth-century sites in
Newfoundland.
The presence of decorative goods in an archaeological assemblage also has
implications of higher status. The appearance of a tin-glazed figurine, although its
hnction is as of yet unknown, may illustrate a part of the desire to fil1 witli non-essential
items the interior of a home (Sharnrnas 1990:169-1 93). Another example would be the presence of the Spanish lustreware vessels at Ferryland. The lustreware appears in Iater contexts than one might expect, and so is strong evidence for curation. Wares with plain decoration are quickly discarded when they are damaged or become outrnoded. and rarely survive for long periods of time. Other tin-glazed vessels from Ferryland do not show this strong tendency for long periods of curation, so this may indicate that lustreware was more highly valued than other types of tin-glazed earthenware. Only six or seven lustreware vessels have been excavated from the entire site and include a jug, which was a very rare form (Pais, pers-comm. 1999).
It is possible that ownership of larger amounts of tin-glazed earthenware in
Ferryland was a means for planters to distinguish themselves frorn their servants, even if there were not a great deal of economic or physical separation between them, as servants and fishing masters often lived in the same house. Although servants in Ferryland had higher disposable incomes than those in England since wages were higher, an average of
3 10 per year would not leave much money for consumer spending after supplying the basic necessities, even if a portion of the food they ate was freely available from the ocean. As well. consumables such as alcohol and tobacco were easily obtained and popular arnong al1 classes of people (Pope 1994). It is likely that any extra money went to these sorts of purchases.
The tmly wealthy people living in Europe in the seventeenth century would have owned porcelain rather than tin-gtazed earthenware, but porcelain is only present in small quantities at Ferryland, and mainly appears in the later-dating levels of the site. This may result from lack of availability, since during the early years of the seventeenth century the distribution of porcelain was tightly controlled by the Dutch East India Company. It was also very expensive. Tin-glazed earthenware was more accessible to a wider audience, and appears to have been used in Ferryland instead of porcelain.
Tin-glazed earthenware is useful for discovering relationships between different areas of the Ferryland site. Sherds of cerarnic that belong to the sarne vesse1 can easily be recognized because of the brightly coloured and ofien-distinctive decoration. The frequencies of tin-glazed earthenware excavated to date fiom different areas at Feqland are found in Table 8.1. It is important to remember that while Area C has been completely excavated, only a small portion of Area F has been uncovered so fa. With more excavation of the structures associated with Area F, it is certain many more cerarnic vessels will be located. Proportionally. most of the vessels either come Frcrr. or have cross mends with Area F, believed to be the location of the "mansion house" where the Kirkes and Calverts lived. Areas C and F are separated only by a modern-day road, so joins between sherds tiom the two areas are to be expected. One layer of fil1 is believed to have been originally deposited in Area F and then moved to Area C sometime in the seventeenth century, and there are many cross-mends between these events. Area G is located geographically near to Area F, which explains cross mends with Areas F and C.
The joins between Areas B and F, and B and C are harder to explain. Area B is a relatively small area compared to some of the other areas, but was excavated deeply, and contains artifacts with very early dates. Further research needs to be done to explain the connections it has with other areas of the site.
Tin-glazed earthenware should not be used on its own to determine status of the people of a particular household or area of the site. Other evidence, such as house size, or the presence of other expensive artifacts such as wine bottles with seals or si tver mounts on jugs must also be examined to give an overall picture of the relative wealth of the inhabitants, and only then cm status be considered. The house at Area D is a good example of this, since even though it has a relatively low amount of tin-glazed earthenware, there are other material signifiers which indicate a different situation
(Crompton, pers comm., 2000).
Table 8.1 Arnounts of tin-glazed earthenware fiom Ferryland, Newfoundland by area
Test ~its1 5 1 Total 1 570 1 8.4 Choice and consumption of tin-glazed earthenware in Ferryland
Choice is another factor which has not been previously discussed in conjunction
with the presence of tin-glazed earthenware at Ferryland. Generally, Ferryland does not appear to have been used as a market to dispose of inferior quaiity tin-glazed earthenware. Most of the tin-glaze, especially the Portuguese vessels. appear to be of very good quaiity. One noticeable exception is a Portuguese plate which still has a piece of sagger attached to the outer surface. Unfortunately, not much is known about quality control in the seventesnth century. Perhaps these flaws were seen as acceptable to the people purchasing them, as the piece of sagger on the tin-glazed plate would not be seen if it were hung on the wall, and basically would not affect the use of the vessel.
As Alison Grant (1 983) suggests for North Devon wares, kin-based ties rnight have been a factor in some of the tin-glazed earthenware present at Ferryland. People might have requested specific vessels from either the factory or people who worked there. since some rare forms appear in Ferryland. such as the figurine or the tray. As welI. it seems that people were actively choosing Iberian tin-glazed vessels, because of the relatively large arnounts of ceramics fiom Spain and Portugal, rather than solely English cerarnics, as one would expect in an English colony. This situation is similar to Narrow
Quay, England, where excavations have shown large arnounts of Portuguese tin-glazed vessels appearing in one layer, even though English wares were easier to acquire (Good,
1987). It also appears that there was some separation of fûnction in the tin-glazed earthenware. The majority of the decorative vessels, such as the large or lobed dishes are either Portuguese or Iberian in origin, while the undecorated or utilitarian vessels like the pomngers and bowls are mainly English or Dutch. Over time, the people in Fenyland appear to have had more choice in the tin-glazed earthenwares they purchased, or at least had the opportunity to choose vessels fiom a variety of countries. In the period 162 1 -
1629, inhabitants of Ferryland were restricted to a choice of either English or Iberian tin- glazed earthenware. By 1638, people had a choice of vessels from five different countries. with Dutch, Spanish and Italian th-glazed earthenwares added to the selection.
Unfortunately no known records expiicitly list tin-glaze as part of the cargo brought to Ferryland, but the presence of the cerarnics in different contexts indicate a constant supply of new wares. In New England, people emigrating to the New World were advised as to what supplies they should bnng, and the Virginia Company in 1622 even published a broadside in London with a list of items (Fairbanks et al. 1982937).
Inciuded in the list of "Appareil, Victuall, Armes, Tooles and Household Implements" were "platters, dishes and spoones of wood"(Fairbanks 1982:238). Ceramics are not mentioned. Another catalogue recornrnending items that planters needed before going to
New England in 1630 added trenchers to the previous list (Fairbanks et al. 1982238). As of yet, no documentary evidence has been found which describes what Fenyland settlers brought with them, so it is dif'fïcult to determine how important tin-glazed earthenware was to people coming to Newfoundland. As a non-essential, luxury item, it may have acted as a reminder of life in England. 8.5 Conclusions
Material goods can be used to leam more about their owners, as often they were used as a way of "presenting the self '(Burke 1993: 149). The archaeological remains of possessions of planters and servants in Fenyland give us an idea of how they Iived, what they owned, and what material goods were available. Tin-glazed earthenware. though it should not be used as a sole indicator of status, can still be viewed as a manifestation of greater wealth. Inferences about relative wealth and status can be made by comparing arnounts found at different sites. The presence of exotic or decorative cerarnics illustrate the choices that were made, and illustrate the persona1 connections involved in the ownership of cerarnics. Chapter 9
Discussion and Conclusions
9.1 Introduction
Cerarnics are a usehl resource for material culture researchers, as the presence of
particular wares and styles cm impart a great deal of information about the people who
used them. Preferences for certain wares, as wetI as the economic and social status of the owners can be detennined through the study of ceramics, especially whea more expensive ones, such as th-glazed earthenware, are exarnined. Cerarnics are useful to archaeologists as they are durable yet fragile (Deetz 1977:46). Though easily broken through everyday use, fragments of ceramics can survive in the ground for long periods of time in most burial environments.
Tin-glazed earthenware has a triple role, being tableware, decoration and a status syrnbol (Schaefer 1998:102). Not everyone in the seventeenth century couId afford to purchase tin-glazed earthenware. Those who could used it either for display or in the serving or consumption of food and only rarely in the preparation of food. The presence of tin-glazed earthenware at an archaeological site is usually an indicator of wealth and higher social status.
9.2 Preference for tin-glazed earthenware
In many cases tin-glazed earthenware was preferred to metal in Europe in the seventeenth century as it was thought to be more hygienic, and food served on it was not tainted by metallic aftertastes. A written reference to this cornes fiom Germany in 1648, when U. Aldrovandi described "many princes" who preferred the taste of food served on ceramics rather than metal plates (Raby et al 1985:S 17). In the Netherlands, there was a fear of lead glazed vessels reacting with acidic foods, so tin-glazed earthenware was considered a safe choice (Schaefer 1998:48). In Portugal, as mentioned earlier, clay was seen as being more sanitary than metal (Calado 1992: 1 1). In France. afier the passing of the Sumptuary Edict of 1709, which required that al1 the gold and silver plate be melted down to assist with the high costs of war, eating from tin-glazed earthenware was elevated into an almost patriotic act (Clark l995:29).
Social emulation was also a factor in the preference for tin-glazed earthenware.
Tin-glazed earthenware was commonly produced in forms similar to porcelain, with imitations of Chinese decorations. Those in lower economic brackets who could never afford rare and costly imported porcelain would still be able to purchase at least some tin- glazed earthenware, as evidence of material success. in Iberia, tin-glazed earthenware was considered to be a desirable ceramic in its own right, not merely because of the similarity to porcelain. The tin-glazed earthenware industry in Portugal remained strong even with the introduction of creamwares, and tin-glazed earthenware is still in production there today. A desire for foreign, imported goods in North America could also partially explain the attraction of tin-glazed earthenware. During the seventeenth century it was very fashionable, at least in New England, to display imported items. Tin-glazed earthenware, with its distinctive and bright decorations, would have suited this purpose admirably
(Trent 1982:377). 9.3 Symbolism of form and decoration
Tin-glazed earthenware seems to have had a symbolic fmction in the seventeenth century, but with some vessels it is the form and not necessarily the decoration which appears to have been more important. An exarnple of this is the relatively large nurnbers of lobed dishes present in the Ferryland archaeological record. Most examples of this vesse1 form are undecorated, and are simply covered with a white glaze. Perhaps. to the
English settlers at Ferryland the form of a lobed dish was aestheticalIy pleasing enough, and elaborate decorations were not needed. It is interesting to note that the only decorated examples present in the collection are Dutch and Portuguese in origin, while the plain white ones are Iikely English. This may reflect national standards of taste in the seventeenth century.
Another example of form superceding applied decoration is that of hygiene-or medically-related tin-glazed earthenware vessels. The shape of apothecary pots is very distinctive, and there is little variation in the form among the many examples found in the
Ferryland collection and other sites across North Amenca. Possibly this was done to make them recognizable and to serve as a visual warning of the potentially dangerous contents. Trained medical practitioners were relatively rare in the seventeenth century and scientific medical cures were not well known or understood. Perhaps the unvarying shape of the apothecary pot was deliberate, to proclaim its purpose visually. This may have had another fùnction as well. Often medical remedies in the seventeenth century were not much more effective than placebos. Perhaps people believed in the efficacy of the medicine, because it came from a tin-glazed jar, which was seen as being "better" or more effective. A similar situation can be seen today when people are influenced by
professional-looking packaging and scientific-sounding descriptions of the product.
Larger apothecary pots, intended for display in shops in the seventeenth century. were
often elaborately decorated, while the ornamentation of the smaller apothecq pots found
at Ferryland is limited to simple stripes or geometric patterns. Al1 of the smaller ointment
pots are covered only with a plain white glaze, which raises the question of whether the
plain, antiseptic look of apothecary pots fits into seventeenth-century perceptions of what
medicines should look like. Unfortunately it is a question which is difficult to answer
without documentary evidence. The presence of so many apothecary pots suggest a
relatively high expenditure on health at Ferryland, alt!!ough written records from the
colony show that the settlers at Ferryland generally enjoyed good health. The other
hygiene-related items made from tin-glazed earthenware at Ferryland such as the barber's
bowls and the chamber pots are also covered simply with a white glaze and no further
decoration.
Some forms of tin-glazed earthenware can be considered to be skeuomorphs; that is, vessels in one material intended to evoke the appearance of vessels normally made in another (Vicker 1 985 :1 37). Vessels normally made in silver or pewter, such as Io bed dishes, pomngers, and plates, were regularly made in tin-glazed earthenware. Tin-glazed earthenware was not intended to be a substitute for the metal versions of vessels. These served to give visual suggestions to the potters, rather than forcing them to copy slavishly the metal forms (Caiger Smith 19852 13). The earthenware at Ferryland shows many influences of vesse1 forms originally made of metal, especially in the case of the pomngers. The majority of the pomngers have pierced and sometimes elaborately shaped handles which appear to have been strongly influenced by similar forms made in rnetal.
9.4 Uses of tin-glazed earthenware
At present, many forms of cerarnic vessels can easily be adapted to more than one use, and the sarne was true of tin-glazed earthenware in the seventeenth century. As customs changed, a serving vessel could become an eating vessel, or the reverse, or the vessel could be used for both purposes (Schaefer 1998:44). In Williamsburg an apothecary pot was excavated fiom the cabinetmaking shop which still had traces of black paint in it (Austin l994:28). In Ferryland, part of a perforated dish was found. If
Portuguese, the original function of the vessel was probably to strain olives. Although some olives rnay have corne to Fenyland, the dish itself was likely used for more than one particular purpose. Tin-glazed earthenware, because of its price, and the fact that it had to be exported fiom Europe may mean it was probably restricted to display and food presentation functions at Ferryland. Tin-glazed earthenware is not a utilitarian ceramic. If used daily, one would expect to see evidence of use, such as chipping at the edges, or the glaze scraped away fiom the bottoms of vessels. This is only rarely evident on the vessels recovered fiom Ferryland, and most vessels show no signs of Wear.
9.5 Ownership of tin-glazed earthenware
The relatively high cost of tin-glazed earthenware would have restricted its use. In
1680 English tin-glazed earthenware cost 12s to 16s for a dozen plates, while pewter plates were priced at 9s 8d (Archer 1997:6). Mary Beaudry and her colleagues have used
seventeenth-century probate inventories in the Chesapeake region to illustrate the lack of correlation between a person's wealth and the arnount of ceramics they owned (Beaudry et al. 1991: 15). Beaudry has discovered evidence of wealthy people with a minimum of
material goods. Ferryland does not have corresponding probate inventories, but the arnount of ceramics recovered from the site suggest something different from her
Chesapeake model. The majority of the Ferryland tin-glaze is found in one area, in the vicinity of the mansion house where the Kirkes and Calverts are believed to have lived.
As members of the planter gentry, who could afford large plantations, they would have been more likely than anyone else at Ferryland to have been able to afford large arnounts of tin-glazed earthenware. They also would have had the persona1 contacts in England to acquire the goods they wanted.
9.6 Cornparisons to other sites
The following section makes some comparisons of Fenyland with sites in
England and North Amerka where tin-glazed earthenware has been found.
9.6.1 New England
Recently an article was published in Hisrorical Archaeology discussing the
Portuguese tin-glazed earthenware recovered fkom various archaeological sites in New
England. Steven Pendery presents an approximate chronology of the different decorative styles, and assigns a date range to each, based on published material (Pendery 1999). Although there are many similarities in the styles of Portuguese ceramics found in
Ferryland and New England, there are also some differences. Pendery has discovered a marked absence of both pre- 1625 and post- 1690 Portuguese cerarnics in New England sites (Pendery 1999:70). Pendery's assertion is that the export of tin-glazed earthenware to North America flourished after the independence of Portugal from Spain in 1640, and before that time the majority of tin-glaze came from Britain (Pendery l999:70-71). He also States that most of the Portuguese tin-glaze falls into the 1625- 1675 range in New
England sites (Pendery 1999:73). This argument mainly matches the archaeological evidence fiom Ferryland, with the bulk of the Portuguese vessels falling into the middle time frame, with a few datable to an earlier time period. Ferryland tin-glazed earthenware cerarnics were fairly evenly split between English and Iberian examples from 1638- 1673.
It was only derapproximately 1674 that the majority of the tin-glazed earthenware vessels came fiom England, with only a small minority identified as Portuguese. The
Fenyland pre- 1625 period shows the strongest differences fiom New England, with at least eight pre-1625 Portuguese plates identified, as well as several bowls. Several post-
1690 Portuguese ceramic vessels have also been identified from the Ferryland collection. although not in such large quantities.
9.6.2 Other American sites
The Ferryland assemblage can be compared to ceramic materials from a domestic seventeenth-century site dating from ca. 1630- 1650 in Hampton, Virginia. This site contained a large arnount of tin-glazed earthenware, with 40 percent of al1 vessels recovered so identified. What makes this site different from most other American sites is
that only 10 percent of vessels were English in origin, with the remainder having Spanish,
Portuguese and other continental origins (Austin 1994:25). The English tin-giazed forms
were restrictea to drug pots and jugs. Although Fenyland had a large percentage of
foreign tin-glazed earthenware, the majonty of the vessels were made in England. This
situation is paralleled in most other Virginia colonial sites where the tin-glaze is mainly
of English origin, because of the English Navigation Acts of 1650 and 166 1 which
required that al1 non-English goods headed for the American colonies had to be shipped
by English ships. Many of the ceramics from other European countries were affected by
the Acts, so fewer foreign ceramics made it to the North Arnerican colonies. (Austin
1994:25). In 1672 an order of the Privy Council ostensibly limited the importation of non-
English cerarnics to "China, Stone bottle[s] and Juggs", which meant that only Chinese
porcelains and Westerwald stonewares could be imported to England (Austin 1994:25).
However, English Port Book evidence shows that reality was different; al1 forms of
pottery, including Dutch delftwares were imported into England only a few years later.
The tin-glazed earthenware in Fenyland from the years 1660-1696 is predominantly
English in origin, which matches with the letter of the Navigation Acts.
9.6.3 English sites
It is difficult to make comparisons between Ferryland and English sites because of the ubiquity of locally-made English tin-glazed wares across Britain. Another difticulty with these comparisons is that many of the English sites excavated are kiln sites, and so show evidence of only local wares. One context which appears to provide evidence of people deliberately choosing Iberian tin-glazed earthenware was excavated at Narrow
Quay, Bristol. in this excavation, Spanish and Portuguese wares made up over 14 percent of al1 the tin-glazed earthenware vessels (Good 1987:40).
9.7 Conclusions
This thesis presents an examination of the seventeenth-century tin-glazed earthenware recovered fiom Ferryland. The information provided in this thesis cm be used to identifi other tin-glazed earthenware excavated from Fenyland in the future, or even fiom other sites across Newfoundland. The study of the tin-glazed earthenware can assist in the interpretation of seventeenth-century life at Fenyland, by helping to date more accurately different areas of the site, and to illustrate the development of the colony.
Tin-glazed earthenware was a non-essential, luxury cerarnic to the settlers at
Ferryland. Its presence at the site can help to illustrate the economic links an English settlement on the Coast of Newfoundiand had with other countries in the seventeenth century. The nurnbers of vessels found in different areas gives an idea of the relative wealth of the people living there and inferences about the status of the inhabitants of
Ferryland can also be made, by comparing the amounts of tin-glue found in particular areas.
This thesis has shown that a large segment of the population of Fenyland owned tin-glazed earthenware, judging fiom the presence of the cerarnics in al1 areas of the site.
Several vessels are of particularly good quality, and must have been expensive to purchase. The 570 tin-glazed earthenware vessels identified corne fiom a variety of countries, and reflect the close economic ties of Fenyland through the cod trade with
Europe, and especially the Iberian peninsula. The comection between the presence of tin- glazed earthenware in Ferryland and that of a wealthy patron is also shown in the higher amounts of ceramic vessels dating from the time of the Calvert and Kirke occupations.
Tin-glazed earthenware is not mentioned at Fenyland in any docurnentary source, but as one class of archaeological material culture, it cmyield a significant arnount of information about the availability of ceramics and the choices people made in a seventeenth-century settlement in Newfoundland.
